Chelsey Painter Davis, a blind content creator, has gained widespread attention on social media after disclosing that her blindness resulted from taking birth control pills.
Davis began using birth control at 18 due to her doctor’s recommendation but soon began experiencing severe headaches and blurred vision. Despite seeking medical help, her condition deteriorated, ultimately leading to complete vision loss.
She attributes her blindness to a rare side effect of birth control known as pseudotumor cerebri, which involves a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid that damaged her optic nerves.

Davis asserts that her doctor did not inform her of this serious risk.
Now, Davis is committed to raising awareness about the hidden dangers associated with birth control. Through her social media platform, @blindmomlife, she shares her personal story, offers guidance on questions to ask healthcare providers, and provides insights based on her experiences.
Her mission is to educate others about the potential risks of birth control, which she feels were not sufficiently communicated to her. Chelsey Painter Davis
