    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.

      @TheOldGeekGuy 4 месяца назад

      Thank you so much for watching my video. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I was particularly struck by your mention of difficulty driving due to shadows. That's a common challenge for many people with low vision, including myself. I've personally found that investing in specialized glasses has been helpful. However, it's important to note that these glasses can be expensive and may not be suitable for everyone. I'm sorry to hear that you're also dealing with vision loss in both eyes. It sounds like your condition might be more advanced than mine, but any degree of vision impairment can be significant. I wish you all the best in your journey to find solutions that work for you. If you're interested in exploring more options for vision aids, I recommend checking out the work of “The Blind Life” [Name of the RUclipsr]. He has a lot of great information and reviews on various products designed for people with low vision and blindness. Thanks again.

    • @TheOldGeekGuy
      @TheOldGeekGuy 5 месяцев назад

      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 RUclips. 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.

    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

    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.

    I'm 77. On May 13, 2024, I did what, for me, was 30 minutes of unusually intense exercise with 15 pound dumbbells and other weights. A couple of hours later, I noticed that the light stand next to my TV appeared wavy when I looked at it with my left eye. I downloaded the Amsler Grid and printed it out. It looked wavy and distorted. The next day, as I expected, my small town optometrist diagnosed me with wet macular degeneration. The photo she took of my macula looked red, swollen, and bloody. I couldn't get an appointment with a retina specialist (in a city 40 miles away) until three weeks later. By then, in a new photo, my macula looked somewhat swollen but not red. I got the Avastin shot. Since then my vision has gradually improved. I've looked at several videos of patients describing their symptoms. You're the first one to describe a problem similar to mine: I have of competition between my good eye and my diseased eye (which also happens to be my dominant eye)--the diseased eye sees objects as distorted but also as somewhat bigger. If that alteration in perception is now permanent, I'm wondering whether a change in my glasses prescription could at least help deal with my aniseikonia--the imbalance in magnification between my eyes (though, of course, there's no way to "correct" other distortions). I'm going to ask about that at my next appointment July 3. In the meantime, I've ordered a Kindle that can read aloud throuugh a bluetooth speaker. I haven't been able to get used to reading with only one eye, though I'm still hopeful that, with a little more improvement, I can read printed pages again without too much frustration. (I am able to read the computer screen I'm typing on, though with some discomfort. I believe my parents had some form of macular degeneration. I started taking lutein a while back in the hope that it would help prevent the onset. Even after I had cataract surgery in 2019, my night vision seemed to continue to be declining, but I never tried to test whether one eye was more affected than the other. Though a dilated eye exam by my optometrist in March didn't find anything of concern, I suspect the problem with my left macula was already there, just waiting for me to do something to raise the pressure and cause it to bleed. According to some sources, ultraviolet light can damage the macula, making it more susceptible to degeneration. I wish I had worn sunglasses before. I'm wearing them now.

      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.

    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.

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!

Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views.
