“I guess I should bank on glasses then :(”

I hope you mean from your eating habits and not another habit! ;)

Macular degeneration means your retina goes bad.

Glasses don't help.

Actually, there is nothing new here. Macular degeneration has been associated with diabetes for a long time. This article basically says if you OD on sugar you run the risk of diabetes which can cause macular degeneration.

Glasses don't help macular degeneration.

The center part of your vision goes DEAD. Dead as a can of spam, not just pining for the fjords dead, but morally, ethic'ly, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably and reliably dead!

It's like having a fuzzy gray spot always right in front of whatever you are looking at.
