Macular Degeneration<\/strong><\/p>\nIt happened so gradually I never realized anything was wrong. At home I kept making accommodations. For instance, when I was having problems reading, I would simply find a brighter light to sit under. I told myself I was just getting old and dismissed my difficulty. One afternoon, I went out with some friends for lunch. I asked, \u201dHow do they expect anyone to see the menu with such bad lighting?\u201d At the time everyone just laughed. Afterwards, my friend Jean told me that the restaurant was actually quite bright and she suggested I see Dr. Latina. Thank goodness for Jean\u2019s advice and honesty. Dr. Latina, told me that At 71, Macular Degeneration was a concern. He was correct but fortunately we caught it early. We discussed treatment options and I am taking the right steps to maintain my sight. Marilyn K. 71<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
