Your Body Is Speaking
When eyesight fades — slowly or suddenly, partially or completely — something is happening that reaches far beyond the purely physical. Eyes are not merely optical instruments. They are the organs through which you locate yourself in the world. They are the gateway between inside and outside. And when this gateway closes, it is worth listening very carefully to what lies behind it.
The psychosomatic perspective does not replace ophthalmological treatment. It adds a dimension that medicine often has no room for. Not as an explanation for everything, not as an attribution of blame — never. But as a quiet, respectful question: What does this symptom want to show me that I have not wanted to see — or have not been able to see?
