Anyone else have macular dystrophy

My eye doctor said I do not have AMD, I have macular dystrophy which is an inherited disorder. He left the room so did not have enough time to ask him questions. I have been taking AREDS2 so should I still keep taking. I read somewhere that vitamine A would help with my condition. AREDS2 does not have vitamine A. Should I start taking vitamine A too.

  1. I have AMD, however if it were me I would call the office of your eye doctor or a new eye doctor and make an appointment to discuss this and next steps. Seems a bit rude and insensitive to leave a patient with out explanation or guidelines on what to do next or how to care for this new diagnosis.
