London Underground: 'Travelling with my hidden disability '

Jake Hart, 20, has ocular albinism and nystagmus, a rare eye condition which means that navigating public spaces and public transport during busy periods can be sometimes “overwhelming.”

The BBC Radio London journalist says the best way to describe his vision is "probably like when you get up in the morning, your eyes are adjusting, you're kind of figuring out what's going on around you".

The condition also means he has delayed visual scanning, which means it takes him longer to identify people and objects that are in front of him.
