Just recently I recieved a diagnoses of MMP the oral type. Where do I go from here? Had biopsy came back positive. Concerned about eye progression, because my wife is blind, this could make life difficult.

Welcome @jimhaz. There are a lot of unknowns when you receive a diagnosis and don't know what could be next.
@terrydclaar may be able to share some experience with you. The International Pemphigus & Pemphigoid website has a lot of patient education, treatment and support information that you might find helpful.

Did your doctor provide any suggestions or answers for your questions?
