I am having vision problems. I use to be able to take my glasses off and read great and do needlpoint. I am nearsighted. Now, I cannot read close as my vison is distorted and the clarity is poor. I saw three Eye doctors and they do not have a clue.
Now, I am wondering if I could have Macular
degenerationMacular degeneration. Also, are there various kinds of Macular problems. Treatment plan?
Thank you.

You should keep followup and see how things progress. Did they comment on any cataract?
