Hi
I am new here and I am surprised there aren't more people on this board. I feel quite alone as I was diagnosed with the dry AMD a few weeks ago, both eyes.

I will see the retinal specialist next month and the wait is killing me! My optometrist put me on MacuTrition, a new supplement for MD.

I also have a "membrane" or adhesion on the right macula, which she has no idea what it is. That is why I am very anxious to see this specialist.

I don't want to lose my eyesight and am scared :(

" MacuTrition looks good, in general, but didn't your mother tell you to eat your carrots because they were good for your eyes? "

I won't be back. "
