I went for an eye exam last month January 2010, because my vision was getting worse and I was having pain in my eyes, I am 61. I would notice that in the mornings I would not be able to focus at all for about 15 minutes to half hour after getting up and I was not able to drive at night either because I was not able to focus. I had Lasik about 10 years ago so I figure that my Lasik was wearing out. My doctor told me that I had drusen on both eyes one worse then the other, he said I have macular degeneration. He had just gotten a new machine so when he showed me the picture and told me my condition, I was in shock. I don't understand because two years ago I had an eyes exam and nothing showed up. I am beside myself wondering how long before my eyes will get worse to where I can't see. The doctor also told me that it’s inherited or sun damage. I don't understand no body in my family has this; I am not a diabetic even though it runs in my family. What should I do?
