81. I've enjoyed your posts immensely and I'm feeling my vision slipping away day by day

Sep 2021

I have macular degeneration which I never heard of before I was diagnosed a few years ago. I've been taking presservision for the past five or six years, I'm beginning to think it's been a waste of money.

I don't know if it's AMD for you or not, but I did recently learn of new devices designed specifically for AMD sufferers needing to stay connected on line etc

Just curious if your issue is AMD and if so, do you know about these devices?
