Macular degeneration

[helenb]

Hi echogirl1. As you can tell, I don't log onto this forum on a daily basis! There are loads of genetic macular dystrophy conditions. Most are difficult to treat although some do spontaneously improve. I wish I could help but I think your ophthalmologist is going to have a lot more experience and good advice than I do

My mother in law who is 83 has the wet kind, and I believe one eye is much worse than the other. She visits the hospital regularly and has injections into her eyes. I know this sounds horrendous, but she says it doesn't hurt. She also encourages everyone to have regular checks because it can be spotted early and treated successfully.

This forum is great.After reading replies to my original post,I didn't realise that there were two different types.As a result ,I phoned the opticians and learned that it was the dry degeneration.Bit of a relief,actually.Anyway,a Guid New Year ,and a prosperous one for you all
