Anyone have intermediate Macular Degeneration
Eye Conditions | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (75)Comment receiving replies
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.

Hello, I'm happy everything is working out for you!
Were you diagnosed initially with wet AMD? You started shots right away?
You know people young and older with this despicable disease? How young?
I have never even heard of this or known anyone with it until two almost three years ago. I learned of my father having it this year. My dad passed in 2021. I have one friend in England that I chat with who has it and she has a lot of health problems.
Were you or your mom smokers? A doctor told my sister that because she hasn't smoked since she was 18 that she'll never get it. Even tho our father had it, our aunt, and now me, her sister has it. There's something wrong for a doctor to predict that. My specialist told me that's not necessarily true. Sorry for rambling. Talk soon okay.
