I NEED TO KNOW AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE ON THE ABOVE EYE CONDITION. MY FRIEND HAS BEEN RECENTLY DIAGNOSED - ALREADY ONE EYE HAS CLOSED OVER - SHE HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO IMPROVE THE DAMAGED EYE AND THAT TREATMENT MAY NOW STOP ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. PLEASE TRY TO ANSWER THESE FEW QUESTIONS OR SUGGEST BOOKS ETC THAT SHE CAN REFER TO:
QUESTION 1    CAN SHE EXPECT ANY IMPROVEMENT TO THE DAMAGED EYE?
QUESTION 2    ARE THERE WAYS OF MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER    
              SUFFERERS
QUESTION 3    ARE THERE ANY TRIAL OR NEW MEDICINES OR OTHER
              TYPES OF TREATMENT THAT SHE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
QUESTION 4    WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM PROGNOSIS, CAN THIS
              CONDITION BE LIFE THREATENING
QUESTION 5    WHAT OTHER INFORMATION CAN YOU GIVE HER ABOUT
              THIS CONDITION
PLEASE PLEASE HELP
THANK-YOU
