Hi @nla4625, here are a few discussion related to macular degeneration
- Is there an eye drop for macular degeneration? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/e-degeneration/
- Wet Macular Degeneration https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/wet-macular-degeneration-1/
- Macular Degeneration and Osteoporsis Medication: possible link? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/macular-degeneration-and-osteoporis-medication-possible-link-in-studie/

And a discussion about FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) in the Neuropathy group:
- Anyone Tried Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-tried-frequency-specific-microcurrent-therapy/

I have seen a few articles calling FSM quackery however. For example https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/frequency-specific-microcurrent/ And then this clinical study citing potential promise https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26719667/. I would investigate closely and ask many questions.

@colleenyoung Thank you for pulling this information together for me and for the good advice re asking a lot of questions before pursuing FSM. I'm pretty protective of my eyes and waited quite a while before having my cataracts removed, which I'm really glad I finally did. The doctor did one eye and the other a few weeks later. I didn't realize with the cataracts I had been looking at the world through amber colored wax paper. It is such a joy to see colors again. I'm sorry you're not on vacation today but thanks for being there for us. Nancy
