The coolest, most unexpected part of my eyesight healing quest has been connecting with other people struggling with Retinitis Pigmentosa who — like me — refuse to take “no hope” for an answer.

I’m back in Westfield, New Jersey, for my second treatment session with Dr. Rosensfarb. In the three months since my first treatment visit, I don’t feel like I’ve had much of a chance to breathe.
