I discovered the problem only after cataract surgery. Not by the surgeon but my OD. The surgeon, on questioning, indicated that: yes, I saw it but it will not be a problem until you are in your nineties. Now, I am told, that everything is stable. Wtf does that mean? I have been diagnosed and undiagnosed with glaucoma too. Now I am back at glaucoma suspect. The lack of decisive clarity is disturbing. I rely upon my own research.

I just recently found out about GA, and it scared me. No one ever told me about this possibility. I have wet AMD in both eyes and I am being treated with injections. every six weeks for my left eye and every 12 weeks for my right eye. My doctor is very sweet, but so busy, I do not get a chance to discuss anything with him. Also I am petrified to talk about GA. I know it is wrong to feel that way. So many of you so graciously accept your condition with the illness in your eyes. i am 90 years old and I take care of my 62 years old ill son. I have to stay strong and able for him. I cannot even imagine losing my sight. He needs me.
I just hope that I am spared having to deal with more bad news.
Thank you for your support, I always love your responses it makes me feel less lonely.
