Do eyeglasses help anyone with AMD?

I have been fortunate to go through my life without the need for eyeglasses or contacts. In my late 60's, I finally needed to use a magnifying glass on rare occasions to be sure I read a number correctly since I did accounting work.

Suddenly I noticed my eyes were taking a long time to adjust to changes in light. (moving from indoor lighting to outdoors and vice versa)

Long story short for now, then I was diagnosed with many eye conditions. Still no refration issues so still no glasses prescribed.

Now that I have severe dry AMD and GA, I am told that eyeglasses will not help.

Am I the only one on this forum that does not wear glasses or contacts?
