    Eye Exercises and taking Eye Nutrients daily has kept my AMD at bay for 5 yrs now. Google for info on both. Eye exercises are so easy to do and you do them often day in day out. The Eye Drs...yes more than one Dr told me that nothing can be done for AMD which is WRONG. You now must do for yourself...still get Check ups but you must do it for yourself! Be patient and determined and you may get Good results. The woman who tells us to be PROACTIVE is what I'm agreeing with here now. Good Wishes to all with AMD. APPLY YOURSELF IT'S UP TO YOU! DO IT!👁️

    I have advanced amd in my left eye and a cataract in my right eye. I declined having a needle stuck into my eyeball every two months so it is untreated. I dont see any reason to do this treatment if it cant cure the problem and i have decided to adjust and get on with my life. I do very well living alone and have whatever i need delivered. I m a reclusive person anyway so staying in is not a oroblem for me. I live in a retirement apartment and am very surprised by how many of my neighbors dont understand what i am dealing with. I have learned to avoid gatherings here and prefer my own company with my two cats. I have a large screen tv and a kindle to adjust the size of print for the books i read every day. My doctor wull continue to monitor the cataract to see if and when i need that surgery.

    • @MacularOrg
      @MacularOrg 17 днів тому

      It doesn't sound like your doctor gave you enough information about what the injections will do. If you have wet macular degeneration, and there is bleeding in the back of the eye, the injections will stop that bleeding and significantly slow or stop further vision loss. It won't return vision you've already lost, but it will help maintain the vision you have for longer. Letting wet macular degeneration go unchecked will progress your vision loss more rapidly. We hope this information helps. Of course each person makes the decisions that feel right to them!

    Liz story is ohh so familiar. I am am also from Toronto with dry mmd in the left and wet in the right. Different diseases with basically the same results. Sadly with mmd they can only treat the symptoms and the the diseases itself. The irony thanks to DNA testing i found out i have the genes for amd which isn't surprising my father had it. The irony which is almost funny is if i live long enough to develop amd it wont matter as the mmd well have taken that part of my vision already🙄. Everything she says is so familiar but she totally correct we adapt and it's all about the attitude. We don't know how many tom we have so why make any of them bad.

      @Willy_the_gunslingin_studentOD 2 місяці тому

      3rd year optometry student here: It likely will not. If you think of the eye like a camera, the cataract in your lens is like the lenses of the camera while the retina is like the film. If the film is damaged, changing the lens in the front wont do a whole lot for you. There is also a concern with how the retina will respond to the surgery and what affects that may have on the AMD. Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor and ask questions, it's part of their job to educate! Best of luck to you!

No one I know shares my condition therefore it's difficult for them to relate to my situation which adds frustration to my challenges. For someone like me who has led an active, strong, fully functional life, the aging process alone is a hard nut to swallow and vision loss is terrifying. To those in my life who are spared personal experience with this condition and try to be supportive, I will share your vid and hope they will be informed in ways I am unable to communicate. Thank you.

The doctor caught it when it JUST started as a DRY problem. Then both of them ended up wet.by keeping an eye on it while treating my LEFT. Guess I won't be running up stairs anymore. The shots were so painful after the numbing drops wore off, but I thought it would be WORTH IT to prevent me from going blind! GAD!!!! I live alone and have no family now. I was the youngest.

    There is no medicine but there are things that may help reverse it. There are at least 2 MDs online who talk about preventing, and perhaps partially reversing, macular degeneration. They say it's not age-related, it's diet related. Most other countries don't get it or, at least, not nearly as much as Americans do. One of the online doctors is Dr. Ken Berry, M.D. This is no joke---look him up! (He's got a huge following because he's so very helpful---3,000,000 followers.) He also says that one of the major offenders in causing it are the so-called "vegetable oils."

    Now stem cell transplantation for macular degeneration seems to be big pie in the sky. Stem cell therapy is to help those endogenous stem cells to clear away so-called inhibitory molecules so that its regenerative potentials can be triggered for regeneration, i.e. dedifferentiation, differentiation and proliferation. Autologous and/or allogeneic stem cells transplantation are outright wrong. God's mercy nano-medication that's based on God created man out of an extract of clay from ground should be the only regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy. All glory belongs to God!
