James Luetchford is a severely sight impaired alpine skier, who is guided by his wife, Alice Luetchford. Together, they ski race and have represented Great Britain at international slalom, Giant Slalom and Super-G races in continental Europe.
James' eyesight impairments affect him in the following ways:
* James has extreme tunnel vision.

* His eyes take hours to adjust to changes in light conditions. Even tiny changes in light will leave him feeling blinded, as though someone has turned off the lights.
