How old are you now?
My retina specialists basically said the same thing, that it will mostly likely be decades before it affects me. I hope by then there is a cure.
When I was first diagnosed last year I freaked out. I cried for days and literally felt like I didn't want to be here anymore if I have to live like that. I'm feeling better right now but I'm still worried.
Which state are you in?

I’ll be 65 in a few days. And yes, I was very upset when first diagnosed. I thought I might go blind within weeks. 😂 But I felt much better after seeing my doc. I also have a sister-in-law in the medical device industry. I asked her what she knows about this treatment. She said she knows some people who work for the company who make this medical device and she’ll ask them about it. Of course, they’ll probably have glowing things to say about their own device, but I’d like as much info as possible. And my SIL is pretty good about wading through the hype and getting the real scoop. I’ll let you know what she finds out, and will try to remember to post what my doc says. I think my appt. is on the 21st, so will be a while.
