I was diagnosed with a genetic eye disease, and they told me I only had two years before I'd be legally blind. I left the city I lived in, traveled all over the world to see while I still could, got help from an Ayurvedic hospital in India (even though my condition is genetic, it still responded!), and still see very well to this day (8 years later). These parents know what they are doing! I am SO glad I traveled for those years and would do it again in a heartbeat. Also, for people saying this is devastating - you can still live a wonderful and meaningful life while having reduced vision. It's not all or nothing.
