Macular Degeneration and Blepharospasm

Posted by mariannewmoon @mariannewmoon, 3 hours ago

Any suggestions for dealing with Bepharospasm(BEB) and Macular Degeneration? I have had BEB for a long time, and about a year and a half ago I had cataract surgery on both eyes. At that time I was told I had the beginnings of Macular Degeneration. I have been taking extra eye vitamins since then, as I was told that is about all that can be done for the Macular Degeneration. Now I guess it has been giving me a lot of problem. On the computer a lot, and it is getting harder to see without trying to just see out of the part of my eye, (my right eye is the only one that really wors), that doesn't seem to be affected. The BEB doesn't help much just trying to keep my eyes open in the first place. Anyway, would like to hear how others cope with the Macular Degeneration. How do others learn to live with this? And if anyone has the BEB too that would also be helpful.
