Hello,
I'm so glad you responded. It's hard to find people to talk to about it.
I'm guessing you were diagnosed with intermediate Macular Degeneration? Does your doctor recommended AREDS2 vitamins, uv/uvb sunglasses, leafy greens, and the amsler grid? That's where I am right now. No wavy lines or blurriness. I pray every day it remains this way forever lol. And dry.
How old are you?

Yes to all those recommendations. My right eye is a little worse than the left. He crumpled a kleenex and said if my vision suddenly looked crumpled like the kleenex to call him immediately. I can't imagine not being able to knit, sew or cross stitch. I do notice that over the last year my eyes get tired more easily. I am 74.

I am 84 and the macular problems began only a couple of years ago. I have been very much on top of things because my mother went blind from MD and I wish to avoid that. My ophthalmologists does not recommend any treatment or dietary considerations. The 4 or more injections per year work beautifully. I have a number of friends (both older and younger) that go to this same Retinal Clinic and we are all happy, healthy and moving forward.
