Go to your Eye Doctor right away.

There is also inordinate difficulty getting a PCP; the waitlists are often 9+ months long, during which times peoples' only option is to rely on urgent care clinics, with no patient continuity. Far too many docs are opting out of networks altogether to work as "consierge physicians," eschewing ALL insurances because of the inordinate paperwork and bureaucracy involved. This leaves medical care ONLY adequately available to the very wealthy. And that's truly disgusting!

Go to an eye doctor who knows what he/she is doing!

Had my quarterly appoint this afternoon and there han't been much of a change. But I need brighter lights to see anything and typing (which is important to my life)... has become difficult. He said there was a bit of a change in my left eye, but to continue taking AREDS 2 and using drops and he feels we can hold deterioration at bay.for some time. I am 84, so maybe I'll make it. Just thinking about what the future holds is making me extremely anxious..
