What symptoms have you been experiencing lately?
A common symptom of macular degeneration is light sensitivity. Do you experience this or any other symptoms (e.g. colors losing their vibrancy, blurred lines, central scotoma)? Share with our community.
Just darker vision and less clear vision.bright light is my best friend.
Can you tell me what brand of lights you purchased on Amazon? I desperately need more light in my home. 
watching tv is becoming harder for me. The picture is not clear and looks fuzzy.
Also, driving at night is totally out of the question for me. Even in the daytime I have to get almost up to a traffic light before I can see the color.
This is SO depressing!
No not yet.i do have a lamp next to my bed .but at bedtime I shut it off and it becomes very dark this disease is very painful and we will never be able to recover the vision we lost as this thing progressing.
I love to read but unable to unless I have a very bright light.
No I'm the opposite I like the light . bright dosnt bother me.plus I use dark sunglasses.copper lens the yellow one didn't do anything for me.
@Brown Eyed Girl I need help with transport as I am single. I have exhausted the citywide and state agencies with no luck. I dont want to take Uber or like. Can you suggest something?
@Brown Eyed Girl It's less than 15 miles to my retina specialist. But they dilate my eyes to where I can't drive home.
I have changes in my vision, and I am glad I can tell you guys about it, I don’t want to complain to others who don’t understand!
1. I see spots in both eyes, in my central vision, at night in the bedroom when the room is dark. The spots can be either dark or light.
2. The rooms in my house don’t seem to be as well lit in the daytime as before, I have to turn on overhead lights.
3. Vague sense of visual blurriness seems to come and go.
4. Adaptation to dark is poor, and I just can’t see looking in the back of a dark cupboard. I scared myself driving on a narrow windy road during the day, which had many short, dark tunnels. My eyes couldn’t adapt well when entering the tunnels, and I felt out of control momentarily, and was lucky there weren’t cars coming in the opposite direction. Although it is a charming countryside drive, I will avoid that road in the future!
5. Weird changes in color: pink clouds (which I know are actually white), orange edges to a teal bath rug, which actually has no orange, purple blotches when I drove at night, and today I saw colored geometric spots in my vision!
Are these all expected changes with dry AMD? The Amsler Grid looks the same.
I will see what my specialist says when I see him next month. thanks for listening, folks!some of it could be mental illness causing worse vision problems. I also have the dark central spot in my vision at night in my bedroom. Other people have that affect too, how odd. I had my vision checked by the assistant a couple months ago, and I was shocked looking into the machine, the screen image of a road leading to a red farmhouse; when they switched to my left eye all the color was gone! All but the red farmhouse! Green was gone! Yellow is gone. When I went this last time after having my medication changed I saw that my color perception has now improved with this new injection!
So thankful for that. (Lucentis for my mCNV)
