I have had macular degeneration since I was 44, now 62. Do the reading, take the AREDS vits and start wearing sunglasses. Don’t panic. I had photodynamic threapy twice which got it to stop getting worse. Photodynamic is still available, but is no longer the first choice of therapy. Depending where the blood is on your macula, you may not need other therapy yet. Find the best retina person you can who may not be the doctor you are seeing now; or go to a teaching hospital if you have to, they have the latest techniques.
