How do you handle grooming?
I have a question that may seem silly. I was trimming my toenails (it’s getting harder to see them clearly from afar) and it occurred to me that there must be hundreds of things I won’t be able to do if this gets worse. Toenails seem to be a small thing to worry about, I can get pedicures, but what about other grooming?
I worry a lot about how I'm going to apply makeup and silly things like pluck gray hairs! I don't have answers to all of these 'silly' but not so silly things...but know you're not alone! I guess we ask our support system for help. -Andrea, MacularDegeneration.net Team Member

I can no longer trim or paint my toenails. My daughter and I go together for pedicures and my feet never looked better. I can’t see well enough to “put on” my eye brows. I just ordered a new lighted makeup mirror hoping it will allow me to apply makeup and not
You might be eligible to have medicare pay for seeing a podiatrist for your toenails. It's worth looking into.
