Understanding Vision Loss

The experience of vision loss, particularly from progressive eye diseases like keratoconus, is complex and deeply personal. Individuals often find it difficult to articulate the changes in their vision and the emotional toll it takes on their daily lives. There is a significant social aspect to losing one’s vision, as family and friends may struggle to comprehend the impact of such a hidden disability. By sharing personal stories and experiences, it becomes easier to foster understanding and empathy surrounding the challenges faced by those with vision loss.
