You made a great video, I have been taking shots in both eyes sense Jan 2014 I quite driving in March 2020 due to my puples opening too slow, I can't see in shadows or at night, My bills average 4k a month my ins and Medicare pay all bills. My left eye stays between 20/100 to 20/400 my right 20/80 to 20/100. I'm 79 I can see out the center of both eyes at this time. I purchased Iris Vision Inspire glasses for when my eyes get worse. Now I use apps on my phone like wezoom and lookout.
When I was diagnosed with AMD 5yrs ago I was told there's no cure for it? So I researched it and found if you do Eye Exercises regularly like daily and use Eye Nutrients can slow AMDs progress. So I've been exercising and taking Eye nutrients and my AMD has slowed or even stopped. I do have eye floaters but I'll settle for them over AMD. I see well today.
That you for explaining this. I was just diagnosed.with wet AMD in my left eye. So far my right eye is healthy. I got 3 shots so far, 4 weeks apart. I fur for my forth one next week, which was 6 weeks from my last one. I do notice an improvement and the doctor told me there was some improvement. I changed my diet and I’m taking special vitamins. I’m only 74 years old, but my Grandmother and my aunt and uncle had it too. I’m keeping a positive attitude and will continue to get my shots
@@officialsheildmaiden6181 They’re called Alred’s 2, it’s a formula only recommended for AMD. The trouble is that not all makes are the same. It’s good to do your research 1-determine the correct amounts of the main ingredients that are recommended. Then heck the labels of the multitude of manufacturers. It seems the the most expensive are not always the best. Also, check with you specialist and see what they recommend.
@@TheOldGeekGuy thank you for your message about vitamins. You’re the first person to tell me. All the hospital have done is give me appointments. I really appreciate your recommendation of vitamins. Thanks once again 🙏
Thanks for making this video. Unfortunately, I don't personally know anyone else who has wet AMD as I do. Your explanation and experience has really helped me.
It’s like any strange illness. When you have it you hear about it more and more. Take care of your eyes. When you lose vision it make things more difficult. I have hearing loss as well but im can use hearing aids that really help. But with vision loss there’s not a lot that can improve it.
I do have macular degeneration and I only have vision in one eye my question is where do you get support? You know if you need someone to talk to cause I feel so disconnected from the rest of the world.. 7:07
Of all our 5 senses losing our vision is probably the most devastating. In my case my family’s support has been the most important. But there are many sites that may be of help for you. A search on the internet could be helpful. My retina socialist even mentioned the Braille institute. She said they have support for low vision problems not just blind. I also suscribe the The Blind Life on TH-cam. The person who runs the site suffers from a condition very similar to AMD and has a lot of reviews on web sites, gadgets and more to help suffers life a pretty normal life. He’s very upbeat and understands the things we go through.i also uploaded a video on special glasses to help me drive and read. You may want to check that out on my channel. I’m going on five years now with injections in both eyes. It’s not fun. But, you have to do what you can to keep what vision you have. I hope this helps a little bit.
My ophthalmologist told m about 15 years ago that I was beinning to show signs of having Macular degeneration. So this is what I did: I stated eating a lot of Dino kale along with about 2 teaspoons of spiralina powder per day. Next time I saw my ophthalmologist, he said I had no sign of macular degeneration and to this day I still don't. By the way, the brand of my spiralina is produced by Nutrex of Hawaii. Don't trust any other brand, some coming from abroad.
I'm glad that this is working for you, too. I am a 72 yr. old woman who has dry macular generation. It went straight to WET very fast. Caught it early, too. Presently, I am blind in the left eye and have 20/20 vision in my right. Both are WET AMD The only vice I have is aging. Started with Vabysmo injection at the onset. It is aggressive, but still have 20/20 in right eye. Thank goodness!!! I live alone with 2 cats and this terrifies me. Loneliness is NOW the least of my problems. Family has deceased. But thank God! I have good friends in my congregation and a few darn good neighbors. "Hard-pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement:........but not absolutely with no way out." 2 Cor. 4:8 💔💖 June
Thank you for sharing your journey, so far. I, too watched my mother become legally blind from AMD and genetic testing proved it was a great risk for me. I now have wet AMD in both eyes, but the shots are keeping me incredibly stable. I am 82 and grateful there is help for us and only wish my mother had been so fortunate. Blessings to you, and please keep us updated!❤
It looks like you an me have the same circumstances. I fear for my children as well. Keep well and take the AREDS 2. I believe the right combination of the vitamins do help as well.
@@lwellsnyc awww so sorry to hear of your mom. I didn’t know about ADM I kept telling my optician it feels like I want to rub my eye. I had cataract surgery in both eyes, it was wonderful to see again without wearing contacts lenses, then this happened. I was shocked. I’ve had my third injection. It’s getting much better. I have it in my left eye. I’m 72 . Thanks for showing interest. I’ll keep you updated & you do the same x

@@pattiecake11 sounds like you got diagnosed pretty early. I hope all goes well for you
@@TheOldGeekGuyThank you very much! I beat Cancer 8 years ago and I know I can beat this too!
Thanks so much for your help, I’m on my third injection next week. The waves have gone, but I still have the dot, I’m hoping it will get better
It sounds like you caught it early. Be sure to take the special vitamins for AMD. They do help.
@@TheOldGeekGuy only just seen your message. What vitamins are they ? The hospital hasn’t told me about vitamins. Thanks 😊

Hi I’m at the hospital now having my 4th injection, it’s helping but how many I’ve got to have I don’t know. Thanks for getting back to me
