"When my vision began to fail, I was married, with a well-paying job as a financial analyst at a hospital in Austin, Texas. We had a comfortable suburban home, social friends, and the freedom to dream about our next car, or vacation, or swimming pool. My life might have continued like this to the end of my days.

But I was lucky. I lost my sight and was diagnosed with a degenerative chronic disease that forecasts an untimely death."
