Emotional Adjustment to Vision Loss


If you're experiencing vision loss, or have been diagnosed with an eye condition, you need to know that there are people like you, and families like yours, who've come to terms with the changes this brings to their lives. Getting to that point isn't just a matter of mastering physical challenges. The first hurdle is emotional. In fact, it is often on the emotional level that the impact of vision loss on individuals and families is felt most forcefully.

Many of the concerns and anxieties discussed are commonly associated with the demands of aging. Clearly, vision loss only intensifies the feelings of isolation, helplessness, and threatened loss of independence you may already be experiencing. Overcoming these emotions begins with understanding them.
