An Unexpected Question

Early in this morning, as usual i started to prepare and warm up all the machine.
After doing some initial testing on patients' eye, including those who done surgery yesterday.
Then here i met a fussy patient that she didn't happy with more than one person around her while she was doing the test.
And i was the one continued with her by assisting her in doing visual field test.
By that time, only i found out that her left eye was blind and her right eye was having advanced glaucoma.
During the test, she was there to tell me that she hated doing the visual field test that made her feel so strain and tired.

Halfway, during the resting time, this patient threw a question to me.
"How if my left over right eye becomes blind also?"
I totally blank out...........................................................................................................................

I think for a little while, then i answered, "Don't worry, our doctor will help as much as she can."
Now, i wonder how is the feeling of a patient when she knows that she is going to become blind?
