Jeeze Katy I'm sorry to hear that. Here I was getting ****ed of because
my presbyopia is still worsening, but glasses are way better than blind.

"I complained because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet"

Here's hoping medical science comes up with something for you.

They're working on stem cell reserach to regrow the macula but it is a
long way off....they can get it to grow but they can't get it to stop
growing...I'll be dead before they get it right but at least my grandkids
who ahve the same problem will ahve a chance...


I wasn't aware you have macular degeneration, Katy. Do you know
specifically what type? Is it exudative or dry? And have they tried
anti-VEGF therapy?
