Is there anyone who was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration young in life?
I was diagnosed at age 43 with no family history and no vision problems whatsoever previously. It was found during a yearly eye exam. I am just at a loss for words and somewhat scared for my future. I am just reaching out to see if anyone has a similar story as me. Thanks!
I was diagnosed 2 years ago. I have been given the nutritional information and have started the Areds as well. Thank you for the reply.

Hello, I was diagnosed at 47, with intermediate stage dry macular degeneration. Now at 50, I have geographic atrophy in the left eye, and still intermediate dry in the right, although I think my next appt may reveal GA. I have a significant change in visual acuity 2-3 times per year so far. yes. We decided together to not proceed with the injections. How are you fairing with them? 
I began last December and have had 4 injections so far. My doctor is very pleased with how well I am doing. Some of his patients have had to switch to monthly injections. I am doing well with bi-monthly injections. Thank you for asking, Sharon Moore patient leader
