how do you cope with sight loss?

over time my sight is just going down hill faster and faster. a few years ago i only needed new glasses / eye tests every 2 years and now its every 6 months. the fear of going blind is depressing. how can you cope? if your in any similar situation how do you cope?

My friend had cataracts. But she's older. In her 70s. What does your doc say?

@ShockWave1983: yeah i refuse to accept blindness. cant imagine living like that. i feel bad for the blind. scary to think of when you have had sight before and then go to having 0 sight. id hate that. wouldnt know any different though if born blind

@madscottish: you're young. You have a child. It's true it would be devastating, but I believe that, as scary and awful as the possibility might be, if the worst happened, you would deal with it and get on with the business of being a man and a daddy. I know the Scots aren't wimps. You're a tough bunch. And stubborn.
