    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.

    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

    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.

      It sounds like you caught it early. Be sure to take the special vitamins for AMD. They do help.

      @@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.

    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

      I’m glad you caught it early. Diet can certainly help to prevent AMD. Glad to hear it!
