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.
