This man is 100% right. I can't imagine how bad these times must be for you, but happiness does not rely on sight. I hope your condition will improve, but even if it does not, that's not the end of your life.

A friend of mine has had a problem with her sight since her birth. The doctors diagnosed that by the age of twenty, she would be blind, which happened.

She is today such a brilliant human being. She is studying law. She reads a lot of books in braille (just imagine reading a good novel in pitch black, your imagination must be so free), I don't know how she does it but she goes on facebook and has a true social life, loves music, she even makes a lot of jokes about her condition. She prepared herself to this condition and is now as happy as anybody else.

Try not to destroy your social life because of your condition.

All of these are easy to say and way harder to do, but I really think you should not lose hope. You are not dying man. You still have a whole life waiting for you.

I'm really sorry for you.

Good luck.
