Yes, this is very scary. Support groups, like us of course, help. I have an audio book machine and I listen to books. It breaks up the day. Talk on the phone and pray. Do you have family close?

Thank you so much for responding. Dr.s have not been helpful.
I am the main caregiver for an adult (42) daughter with special needs. We are very close. I pray I will always be able to see her face. I do the finances for our family. Always have. Hard to see me not being able to do those two things. But, I am blessed with family. My husband is here, and we also have two older daughters who live in or near the same city as we do. One works and the other has her hands full w ith two young boys with mental health issues. But, they will be there for me if needed.
I am a very independent person so this is hard. I took care of my parents, my husbands dad, and our daughter. I don't want anyone to have to take care of me.
I was the only one of eight people in my family that did not have to wear glasses, until I needed readers. I keep telling myself that God gave me perfect vision for 68 years because He knew this was coming. It still doesn't make it any easier. I just want to see my daughters blue eyes!
