Ask me anything, I've been through it all. Both eyes. Laser surgeries, avastin shots, anxiety, depression, suicidality. I see that many of you who commented 1st got it in your 40s and just one eye. You will be OK, your brain fills in a lot of blanks. I've had it since I was 21 am 45 now, can still read and drive but it's tough. Just hang in there, they have invented new treatments in the past 20 years which has helped me so who knows they might invent something next week that could repair the damage. I f you have questions email stormstoker@gmail.com.
