I have been seeing a fit, intelligent young man aged 26 who suffered significant damage to his cornea 3 months ago as the result of an accident at work. He can see only light and what he describes as reflections. He is under the care of an ophthalmic surgeon who says it will take a year to see whether any improvement will occur. He was due to start an engineering degree. He has gone into his shell and just sits around and does very little. Apart from psychological help are there any programmes designed to help people with monocular vision to cope better with their visual impairment. Chris Schilling
