What age do you develope lattice degenneration

When  I could no longer see small print with glasses  I was told I had macular dystrophy and could have a cornea transplant which I did have. As long as you can see small print etc with your eye glasses your probably ok. I wore glasses at your age and my eye problem did not  begin until  many  many years later.

Lattice can occur at any age and can progress with aging.
