Phillipa,
I'm very sorry to hear about your son's blindness. I had eye problems from birth. My sight worsened considerably when I was 11 after an operation (I've also had many eye operations). They said the sight would come back when my eyes recovered but after several months it remained the same, by which point I had adjusted anyhow. I've lost some more of my side-vision since then but it happened very gradually so I haven't really experienced the loss (the last time I went to the hospital, just some weeks ago, they said the one eye has worsened but I can't say I really notice) - I just notice I bump into things a little more often and struggle in low light compared to 10 years back. I think it's far harder to adjust if you lose your sight later on.
