Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Standard CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The standard care group will receive baseline testing #1, standard care, baseline testing #2 and follow up testing approximately 8 weeks later.
Group II: ExperimentalExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Experimental group will baseline testing #1, standard care, baseline testing #2 however then participate in a 6-week self-management intervention (either generic or vision specific self-management based) and then get 8 week follow up testing.
