This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether combining two types of therapy — low vision rehabilitation (which teaches you to use remaining vision and adapt to vision changes) and emotional regulation therapy (which helps you manage anxiety and distress) — works better together than separately for people with inherited retinal diseases. Researchers believe that when vision loss causes emotional distress, addressing both the practical and emotional sides of vision loss together may help you function better in daily life.
Many people with inherited retinal diseases experience significant anxiety and emotional distress along with their vision loss, but standard low vision rehabilitation often doesn't address these emotional challenges. This trial exists to see whether adding emotional support to vision rehabilitation can improve overall outcomes for patients struggling with both vision loss and anxiety.

Depending on which group you're assigned to, you'll receive low vision rehabilitation (learning practical strategies to use your remaining vision) and/or emotional regulation therapy (learning techniques to manage vision-related anxiety). Some participants may start with emotional therapy first and then add vision rehabilitation, while others may receive them together or in a different order. The main therapy phase lasts about 10 weeks, and you'll need to be in Michigan for in-person sessions during that time.
