Understanding Vision Loss

The challenge of discussing vision loss, particularly in the context of progressive diseases like keratoconus, highlights the emotional and social difficulties faced by those experiencing such conditions. Individuals often find it hard to articulate their experiences, leading to feelings of isolation. Sharing personal stories and articulating the feelings associated with vision loss can serve as a powerful tool for connection and understanding. This openness not only sheds light on hidden disabilities but also fosters empathy among those who may not fully comprehend the struggles involved.
