Question about AMD Visual Symptoms
I’m newly diagnosed with intermediate AMD (just a couple of momths), and I’m wondering about a basic question. Are visual symptoms always constant? I have damage in my right eye that’s there all the time. But in my left eye I have something like a floater (a grey cloudy area) even though my opthalmologist and new retina specialist say they see no significant floaters. Could this be related to AMD?
Sometimes.you must take areds,,,2and exercise and eat healthy.buy exercise I mean going for a nice walk every day not becoming a body builder.my vision has gotten worse in the last few months but I think it's from the high anxiety it's caused.me.
I do eat well and exercise so I'm glad that will help. Sorry your vision has gotten worse. Let's pray for new treatments soon. there is new treatment for dry eye macula degeneration it light house therapy it actually improves our vision to read better and drive in the dark also reduces druson build up.its lighthouse therapy and it's very grueling but not medication.its in the early stage of trails with no side effects.look it up on you tube.
Also I have always had bad floaters when my eyes were healthy.so it sounds like the . macula degeneration.good luck and there is new treatments in the works.
Your experience is the perfect example of how each case - even with the same diagnosis - is so unique. I, too, have dry AMD & am at the intermediate stage, yet I see no floaters, just blurred vision. However, I do notice that some days, I see more clearly and even the time of day makes a difference. There are times I am amazed how clearly I see and other days, not so much! I am so glad you found this supportive community. It has been helpful for me to hear other people’s experiences & learn more about my particular condition. Please keep coming back!

Linda, I have this day to day change as well. I also notice my left eye has more grey, fuzzy areas in the morning. So odd, isn’t it, how we’re all different. I have lupus, & the same thing is true for that. They is a myriad of ways it affects people.
