I just started following this group. I have had dry MD in both eyes for years. My right eye just turned to wet and I had the first injection a month ago. I get the second this week. So far the injection has not improved anything. I fear getting wet in both eyes and not being able to read or putz with stuff. So far with one half ways decent eye I can still see the computer screen and expand stuff. I sit 8 feet away from a 55 inch TV. I have already given up driving.
I have looked on-line for devices to help with reading and doing everyday tasks. Anything electronic seems extremely expensive. Stronger reading glasses help some but you have to have your face a few inches away and still use a magnifying glass. I have a magnifier app on the phone and tablet which help some. I would really like to know what others do to cope?

I would love to talk about coping with daily living and low vision. I have dry AMD in both eyes and wet in left, have had injections in left for a year and a half. I’m at a 6-7 week interval. I’m working on getting more high contrast items in my environment. I have a lot of prism in my glasses and that seems to help. What I wonder about, is how people cut their nails. Is there some special fingernail cutting device that helps?
