That is very true of wet Macular Degeneration, but it usually starts with dry Macular Degeneration and I had the signs and symptoms when I went in May. The second opinion specialist said the dry Macular Degeneration has probably been there for years. It is unlikely that I developed dry Macular Degeneration in one eye and dry-to-wet Macular Degeneration in the other in less than two months. Possible, but unlikely.

Since many of the readers on this sight are at the age they could develop Age-Related Macular Degeneration, I wanted to make them aware. I went in for signs and symptoms of Macular Degeneration, was told I didn’t have it. Luckily I had an appointment for my yearly check-up or I would still be undiagnosed and untreated. I wish I had gotten a second opinion in May before I lost more vision.
