Emily asked about her appointment. Ambria said her vision probably won’t get a lot worse for a while, but, when it does, it will stay that way for a long time. Emily said she understands it either gets a lot worse at the beginning and stays or it gets worse slowly at the beginning, gets a lot worse, and then stays that way.
