vision changing for worse.

I have dry eye macular for several years, seems my vision is getting worse. I have new eye prescription glasses but doesnt help. Does anyone else have t his problem?

  1. I'm sorry to hear your vision is worsening. I know from my family experience that new prescription glasses don't always help with macular degeneration. When lines become wiggly or letters slope or seem to disappear, reading glasses don't really help with those issues. Are you having regular appointments with your eye specialist to check your eyes? Those of us with dry macular degeneration need to check that it hasn't changed to wet. Also, a low vision center might be able to suggest other types of glasses that could help you. Is there one near you? It's never too early to go. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.
