I can’t see anything but I can still hold numbers (again, up to a point) in my head without any kind of problem. It’s not a memory impairment in any way, at least not for me. Then again there’s not that much research into it so I’m genuinely curious about your experience as well.

What does not being able to see inner images have to do with math?
I’m asking because I can’t see shit but I have no problems with doing math up to a certain point. Not in any way good at it but it doesn’t impair my memory to the point it would be a hindrance either.
Okay. That seems like an extremely inconvenient thing to live with. Must be extremely frustrating.
For me it’s more like …I can’t see a 7 or an 8 but I don’t have a problem with taking 2 from the 7 and “holding” the remaining 5 in my memory while I add up 8 + 2.
On the other hand if someone asks about what an apple is I can tell them they come in red or green varieties but ask me to draw one and it’ll be the ugliest apple ever put on paper. Meanwhile I can draw just fine if I have a model in front of me.
The thing I seriously don’t understand is why I can see my dreams though. Never made any sense to me whatsoever.
