This is the year that my husband was DX'd with wet AMD.

He lost the sight in one eye. The other eye was holding up well until he got the shingles. That almost blinded him and it set it off badly.

He has been getting injections into the one eye ever since 2008.

So far, his eyesight is holding up but he can no longer drive and he has a lot of difficulty reading.

My father also had wet AMD and he too was blind in one eye. When he passed away, the wet AMD was beginning to affect his other eye as well but he didn't live long enough for it to take over.

I wish you the best of luck with this problem as it is a very serious one to have.

Take care redstatebluegirl.
