Dear Harish, Actually I was diagnosed with RP around 10 years back at age of 24. It happened at Apollo hospital in Delhi and I met some senior doctors at Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi, PGIMS Chandigarh and many others for second opinion. It was very early phase of my marriage, pregnancy and career full of high emotional pressures. They all detailed me at length about its causes, effects(both short term and far going)and even how unfortunate I am. But anybody hadn't bothered about even referring to any rehabilitation facilities. I am actually having a very strong feeling that they themselves don't know that what blinds are doing in India and round the globe in this age. I want somebody to come forward so that rehabilitation can be made a compulsory and inevitable part of diagnosis. Thanks, Sucharu

Now amongst the acquired blind, its spread, is very varied and it iss spread out in different phase of one's life. The invervention in terms of rehabilitation usually has a large time intervening it. To my understanding, your primary question, is there any support system helping one during this vital stage. Local NGO's should ideally filling up this requirement.
