Lin/Linda here with a page. Do you have or have you had a parent or sibling with AMD? Was their experience so upsetting that you fear the same fate? When I look back at what help my dad had when he had advanced AMD (geographic atrophy), he had very little beyond a handheld magnifier. Today he could have watched TV with the MaxTV glasses and audio description, could have read the magazines & newspapers he loved with a tablet or smart phone on a stand, could have read a menu in a restaurant with a smart phone magnify app. And he might have been able to sign up for the upcoming phase 4 trial of the first treatment for geographic atrophy!
