Receiving a diagnosis that includes vision loss, will throw you into a state of consternation. The information is as murky as the vision it portends. The problem is progressive and there is, currently, no treatment, but a lot of research is underway and maybe they’ll find a cure, soon. Meanwhile, the doctor will follow your case closely and hopefully your eye sight will not change dramatically in the short term. You have more questions than answers, so this is where you ask, “What should I do now?” And now means now, not later.  The response, may very well sound like, “There is nothing you can do.”  But this is not an acceptable answer. 

There is, in fact, plenty you can do and so much you will want to know. A better answer, actually the best answer, would be for your healthcare provider to take just a few moments to suggest connecting with Hadley’s informative programs and services, which will support you every step of the way forward.
