That’s too bad. Both of my parents had AMD. Used to watch the eye doc stick a needle in mom’s eye to inject medicine of some sort.

I also had an eye operation where the doc detached the weak muscle, pulled it closer to the front of the eyeball and reattached it. Except for the bifocals portion, I had perfect alignment for a couple of years. But the misalignment is slowly coming back...as the doctor predicted. Ha...actually had three eye operations in one year. This one, and two cataract procedures. Don’t get me started on the floaters. One in each eye...and they’re shaped like little mosquitoes buzzing around the perimeter of my vision.

I hope things work out for you. Modern eye medicine has come a long way! My last high-priced lenses were perfect straight from the lab...not always the case in the past.

That’s rough, moovova. There’s little more precious than our eyes and sight.

Our neighbor had the operation to correct her macular pucker a few years ago and it came back. I don’t know if she’s going to have operation #2. My retina doc said the macular pucker does tend to come back after the operation. That’s another reason why I’m in a holding pattern and just monitoring it.

Thank God for being able to read on the computer and make the text a lot larger. The distortion isn’t as noticeable with larger text. With small text, the line above tends to run on top of the line I’m reading.

A dear friend of mine is having to go through a series of eye injections, for what they described as having had ‘a stroke’ in their eye.

Maybe whatever they’re being treated with will hopefully help with any future MacDeg issues, in the future.

Sorry to hear about your annoying floaters. I’m sure you’ve tried the supplements with VitC, D, lysine, etc.

Speaking of latest tech ... another friend recently had a tooth crown replaced, at a same day visit. It was 3D printed! It’s one of her front, side teeth ... matches her others perfectly.
