I would love to hear from you regarding Macular Degeneration. I have so many questions and concerns. I would love to hear your story and suggestions etc. I feel like I receive very little responses to my posts, questions, concerns, ideas that I write on here. I hope I hear from you. You can send a private message as well if you'd like.

Hi Cindi
I'm afraid I can't help much with macular degeneration questions as I have only been fighting glaucoma for over 30 years. I'm now 79 but it all started with nuclear cataracts at age 38 and they did not put in innerocular lenses back then so I have lived with thick glasses. Later I had detached retinas in both eyes and then the glaucoma started. I'm currently on 3 eye drops: pilocarpine, dorzolimide, and rocklatan. But over time I have lost central vision in my left eye and about 40% of field in the right eye.
