do you all notice a reduction of peripheral vision, like a snowy appearance with mac degen? i noticed this recently, along with increased sensitivity to light. i have to turn my head to see to my side and wear sunglasses outside and reduce light indoors do any of these sound familiar to those with this eye issue?

thanks for your input

" i guess, i don;t know. i thought maybe posting it on here would get some response regarding that, but maybe this isn't part of macular degeneration at all.

thanks for your response, take care. "

" oh well i might have that, they arent sure yet. Have you been diagnosed with it?
I havent noticed anything like that with me yet. I really dont have any signs of it yet i dont think. Im worried that i will get some though. Anyways are you taking vitamins for it? They recommended to me preservision, over the counter vitimans i was also taking lutein, but they said the preservision has lutein plus other better stuff. They also recommend to eat a lot of green veggies to help. "

" yeah i was diagnosed with retinoschisis after i went to the doc complaining about increased floaters, flashing, some intermittent blurry vision and sometimes seeing a blue flash in my rt eye. he said it's rare, and even rarer for symptoms and rarer still for women to have this. that's why it took a second opinion to get the dx.

yeah, thanks for the info on the supplement. i heard lutein is great also, and i try to eat greens as much as i can. unfortunately, pills are annoying me right now so i try to stick with mostly food and teas. bilberry i heard is good too. "
