Summary
This study tests whether meditation or a health education program can improve quality of life and mental health for people with irreversible age-related vision loss and their caregivers. About 150 participants will be assigned to either meditation training or health classes, both delivered online. The main goal is to see if these programs are practical and helpful, not to cure vision loss.
