I'm always looking for more info...thanx! I was initially diagnosed a year and a half ago, and told I would be blind in two to 5 years, and told to start taking the Age-Related Eye Disease Study's formulation vitamins. It's not progressed very far, but in low light situations, I have problems seeing things directly in front of me...so doing something like trying to figure out which key is the house key at night when all the lights are out are a bit of a challenge. Basically, the center of your vision in each eye slowly is lost, sort of the opposite of tunnel vision.
Needless to say, it is freaking me out!
But I have been looking at long term things that I can do. I am adept at playing guitar and composing music....and have been told in the past I could probably pursue a career in music. I may also pursue journalism, as I like to write, and have done some work on a college station as an on-air journalist...the fact that I was also producing, writing and editing the stories also helps...I wasn't just a voice on the radio!
