Myopic MD is 4% of the population of MD people. Does anyone else feel in the minority?

There is such a small number of us with myopic macular degeneration that I feel no one discusses it. There’s no research being done. No clinical trials nothing at all and it makes me very sad.
I have pathological myopia and also AMD. Is that the same thing you’re talking about?

I was extremely nearsighted as a child always wearing glasses or contacts-my retina stretched and bled - I don’t think it’s the same thing but it’s awful

myopic macular degeneration is different as to cause but has similar symptoms and treatments. You mentioned not needing injections and I wondered if you still have routine checkups with your retinal specialist. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

yes unfortunately it has messed up my vision quite a bit. I use a magnifier to read small print and read books on a IPad to enlarge the font
