Do I have AMD? Glaucoma? Or Both?
For a few years now I've been diagnosed with AMD, but also with Glaucoma. The symptoms seem overlap themselves...or not. I don't see the wavy lines I read about from AMD sufferers, but I see black clouds of various sizes werever I look, at least in one eye. Plus both eyes are always blurry and burning.
I was also diagnosed with Glaucoma (not enough one, had to be punshed with both!). And in general my vision is being drastically reduced.
Are any of you also seeing these black clouds? When I mention this to either specialist they don't answer. Perhaps I need to find a more competent AMD and Glaucoma?
Wendy, the cataracts are the simplest of all surgeries. Easier than teeth extractions lol! Please choose a very comptent surgeon who understands AMD. I wish you the very best! 😀
I have had both. Would rather have teeth pulled.
Oh how wonderful you found the right doctor specialized in both cases! I wish he were in my town in USA. Best luck to you! 😀
I've had glaucoma for over 20 years. Drops at present keeping it in check. The dry AMD I've had for over 4 years. Nothing can be done for it except salads and vitamins.
thank you for sharing your experience with both glaucoma and AMD. My son had a laser procedure for glaucoma that worked well. It lasted about 3 years. Now he is back on drops. I am attaching a link for lifestyle changes that can slow the progression. https://maculardegeneration.net/lifestyle-changes/
