   <p><inline-mention username="Audreyeye" user-id="4497187"/> I must agree vision loss stinks. I am glad that the injections stop the bleed that sorry that it didn’t restore your vision. Some of our community members find it helpful to visit a low vision clinic. There are many tools and aids to make living with low vision a bit easier. Thanks for sharing, Sharon Moore Advocate</p>

   <p>I live in Oklahoma so I didn’t know personally. I did a Google search for low vision clinic Chicago Illinois and the attached picture is what came up. You can refine search even further by searching “low vision clinic and insert your address”. I hope this information is helpful to you.

   <p>Hello Audrey,<br/>I am in your boat a little bit. I had a myopic CNV just over a year ago. I knew that my eyes were challenged, but I never knew the extent and to hear myopic macular degeneration is incredibly scary. I have had six shots and several disagreements with the doctor that I see, but I am advocating for myself and seeing a different retina specialist on the side. I too am adjusting to new vision changes and find it incredibly frustrating some days. Thank you for sharing your experience and know that you are not alone in this new territory of adjustment.</p>
