At the age of 40, Jennifer was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration. Five years later, she woke with double vision, wavy lines and blurriness. Her AMD had turned wet and she immediately started Anti-VEGF injections. Coming up on another 5 years, Jennifer’s vision is stable with very little distortion and a full life which makes room every 5-6 weeks for treatment.

Jennifer believes in the power of a support community, and finding common ground with others who are going through similar challenges. Furthermore, she is passionate about educating herself and others on macular degeneration.
