Hi PTL,
You are doing the right thing by praying and continuing to pray! I will pray for you also. God is there for you and will make sure your eye problems all turn out right. Do you have some vision problems now or are the doctors just telling you that you have problems? If you can see good I would merely live your life and forget the eye doctors! Even if you have to cancel some appointments. After all, it's your eyes and your money that's paying for the appointments! You are in control. If your eyes start to have problems, then go back to the eye doctors. Just because your relatives had some eye problems doesn't necessarily mean you will have those problems. My grandmother died of breast cancer and I never had that.

Keep praying like you are doing and have faith. Put everything in God's hands and then wait for the miracles. Maybe even start reading the Bible again if you aren't already.

My husband died 3 weeks ago and I felt so lost. The insurance was lapsing, I wasn't sure of the exact amount of money I'd have between the pension and social security; (I was getting conflicting messages.) I had no prescription coverage, the refrigerator stopped working, the hall light switch quit working, a light bulb blew out in the bathroom and was stuck in the light and wouldn't come out! I just sat down and had a long talk with God and for a while, nothing happened. Then I found a new insurance with no charge except co-pays and prescription coverage. I finally got a final amount for the pension and social security and it's OK and livable. The refrigerator fixed itself but not until the repair guy came out and he charges $139. He wouldn't take a scent! I thought that was so nice! I live in a mobile home park and the manager came by and noticed I had no hall light. He fixed it for me and got the stuck light bulb out all for free. See? You just have to have faith and pray. It does work! Let God help you and also let him take care of the future. Besides, not as many people believe in God anymore like they used to. I think he enjoys hearing from those of us who still believe in him. God's probably lonely.
I wish you the best and I will continue to remember you in my prayers.

My vision is good using both eyes. The right eye is a smidgen off when looking at the Amsler grid. The left seems okay. Although I can read without glasses my vision is 20/25 so I occasionally use reader +1.50. they're pretty low. The doctor says that has nothing to do with the my
diagnosis
I don't think I'll stop seeing the retina specialist because the biannual exams will help us to find any progression early so
treatment can begin and I'll keep very good vision for the rest of my life. I now believe it is AMD and not pattern Dystrophy because I now know two people in my family had/has AMD. I believe my age is what made the specialist think it was something different.ill be meeting him again in Dec so I'm sure he'll agree.
I do believe my prayers to St Lucy the patron saint of eye disease guided me to the Mayo clinic site. I have received so much positivity and hope. Google had me feeling like the life I know was over. I felt dead inside, but now I have hope.
I am very sorry you lost your husband. Please accept my deepest condolences. I believe prayer is very powerful. And I believe that is why you were able to get the things to our needed because of prayer. I hope everything continues on the right path for you.
Do you have kids? Do they help out as well.
I'm meeting with our parish Priest Wednesday morning. I want him to bless my St Lucy necklace that I just bought.
Thank for praying for me. Keep praying! Prayer is powerful. 🙏
Prayer is powerful!
