Yes, I was so fearful to go to sleep because I thought I would wake up blind. It was horrible. I felt dead for almost two months straight. It should be a law that doctors including eye doctors have counselors to explain things and to reassure when necessary. To send people out of an appointment with so many unanswered questions and so much fear inside should be against the law.
Were you diagnosed with wet AMD? Or dry in one eye and wet in the other? When you say you still see wavy lines that should be straight, do you mean on the Amsler grid, or in general when you are walking or driving? My right eye sees a very slightly wavy lines on the grid if I look at it with the left eye closed. The right sees the lines straight
I'm taking AREDS2 but plan to ask the retina specialist if they are necessary. Research doesn't support them very much at all and they are not cheap. I do eat very healthy but that's not new accept my diet may be better now. I do not have any underlying health issues, I'm thin, and I'm active. This just happens to run in my family. Why I have it 25 years younger than most is the mystery.
I don't blame you for not wanting to wear a cell phone/ goggles on your head, lol, I wouldn't either.
I do pray for a cure. I feel they are getting close and may have something within the next 10-15 years.. one promising cure is the gene therapy eye patch.
I'm happy your AMD has improved. I had no idea that was possible but I guess anything is possible.
Thank you for responding to my question. I appreciate any information I can get first hand. Between my eye care team and this website I also do not fear losing my vision anymore. I believe we will catch any small change and jump on it ASAP. 🙂 TTYS
