I'm in shock, but not suprised. Her younger brother, in his late 60's, was diagnosed with Macular about 5 years ago. He is almost totally blind in both eyes. They had an aunt who was totally blind. All with the wet kind.
Doctors say it is hereditary.
Nothing has helped my uncle, not even surgery. He ordered the special eye glasses and by the time he got them, they didn't do any good. His sight went downhill fast. My mother's is expected to do the same. I don't know enough about it to tell you what do to.
