Wet and Dry Macular Degeneration - Texas

by Gabrielle
(Houston, TX, USA)

I am writing this for my grandmother, Hildegard. She is 83 years old and in fantastic health.

A few years ago she was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration and is treating it with injections.

However a month ago she was told dry is in the early stages in her other eye.

She lives in Galveston, TX, USA.

Thank you,
Gabrielle

Currently the only clinical trials in Texas for Dry AMD are for an advanced stage of this eye disease - called geographic atrophy.

Dry Macular Degeneration - Texas

by Sheila
(Southlake, TX)

I was diagnosed with adult onset Vitilliform dystrophy. I am told that my AMD is in the dry stage but my vision is declining.

I am looking forward to a future of being actively retired but am afraid of what my vision may become.

I am extremely interested in participating in any program that would decrease my chances of vision loss.
