Jim Hindman Biography
“You are legally blind.”
With these four words Jim Hindman, renowned entrepreneur and founder of the Jiffy Lube franchise, would face the biggest challenge of his life at age fifty-seven when he was diagnosed with macular degeneration, an age-related progressive disease that leads to blindness.
Throughout his successful career, Hindman had always met challenges head-on, but nothing prepared him for the impact macular degeneration would have on his life. Fearlessly embarking on a more than twenty-year exploration with multiple renowned physicians throughout the United States, Hindman refused to give up until he found a way back through the darkness: innovative new medical procedures and technologies ultimately restored his vision after he successfully underwent surgery for the implantable miniature telescope (IMT).
In Was blind, but now I see, Jim Hindman shares his remarkable journey to recovery, his setbacks and achievements. Woven throughout his inspirational account is a rags-to-riches story featuring many of the lessons he learned as a street-smart kid roaming the streets of Sioux City, shining shoes and selling newspapers, from being a court-ordered orphan at the age of ten to becoming a self-made millionaire by thirty-five.
All proceeds from Was blind, but now I see are designated for education, rehabilitation, and research, in an effort to eradicate AMD, suffered by tens of millions today and the generations to follow.
