   <p>@ BarbaraBorrello getting the diagnosis of macular degeneration on top of your cataracts had to be a shock. I am glad your doctor prescribed the AREDS2 eye vitamins. They may help slow the progression. This article on lifestyle changes can guide you in steps you can take to slow progression <a href='https://maculardegeneration.net/lifestyle-changes' target='_blank'>https://maculardegeneration.net/lifestyle-changes/</a> <br> At your next appointment I would recommend writing down any questions you may have. It would be helpful to know what stage you are in. Best wishes, Sharon Moore Advocate</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Sharon Moore" user-id="3129425"/> At that appointment it was suggested to take care of my cataracts to give me the best possible vision. I had my second eye done this past Thursday. I do see much better. I have my next appointment June 13, and hope my Eye doctor will give me some direction with the macular degeneration. Thank you so much for asking. </p>
