Mixed thoughts for Today...

I was just told today that I have both wet/dry MD...not certain how I'm feeling. Vision right now is 20/25 again, not certain of any of this.

  1. I am so sorry, I have had dry macular degeneration for about 20 years now. After cataract removal procedures this spring I have 20/30 vision. My macular degeneration has changed much in all this time. But as the eye doctors I have seen over the years tell me I am a one off.

  2. Hi . Welcome to the community. I'm glad you found us. Your uncertainty makes sense. A new diagnosis can be really overwhelming. There's a lot to learn and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Did your doctor recommend supplements or injections to slow progression?
    Here is an article with some insight for people who are new to macular degeneration: https://maculardegeneration.net/living/new-diagnosis-amd. I hope you find it helpful. You'll find plenty of support in this community from people who have been where you are now and understand how you're feeling. Please reach out of you have any question or need help. Best of all wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
