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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that meditation or health education programs help people with vision loss and their caregivers feel better emotionally and improve daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study, not a large trial. It may not prove that these programs work for everyone, and results may not apply to all types of vision loss.
