Visual aids: Tools such as magnifiers and specialized software can assist with daily activities. Occupational therapy: Helps children adapt to vision loss and maintain independence. Genetic counseling: Provides families with information about the condition and future reproductive options. Experimental treatments: Some clinical trials explore potential therapies, such as gene therapy and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants.
