[snackingmiss]

Hi,
I was diagnosed with  myopic macular degeneration.  Is there any option to prevent loss of vision in the future or futher damage?  Schelral buckle surgery was recommended, but I am interested in finding out what other options there may be.

What is CNV?  and is there a dr I can call to discuss.  I am losing vision in the left eye quickly. the right eye has myopic degeneration also, but has been stable for the past two years.  I need to do something. DLitz

Why is the treatment not accepted?  Have you heard of Dr. Brian Ward in CA?  He tells me he has had very positive results.  Do you know of any other drs. that are treating myopic degeneration.  I am quickly losing sight in my left eye and want to save it.  DLitz

I have myopic degeneration in both eyes.  I am losing vision in the left eye quickly.  I have heard of Dr. Brian Ward, in CA and his studies and research.  Do you have any other surgeons that are offering treatments that have proven successful in stopping the progression.  If so, please let me know.  DLitz

I have myopic degeneration.  I was 29 when it showed up in the form of retinal hemorrhaging in my right eye.  I had x3 PDT which left a massive central scar tissue.  This past December I experienced same symptoms in my left eye.  I had one Avistin inject. and it has helped a little, but the wavy lines and some of the paracentral shadowing is still there.  

I have researched acupuncture and have found several acupuncturist that states they can help with decreasing the scar tissue and the other symptoms?  I am 37 yrs. old now and never expected my other eye would do the same.  I have been naive.

Hi, i am 33 years old female with high myopic. May I know how is your eyes condition now after 4years? I was informed by my eyes specialist that both of my eyes have dry type macular degeneration due to my high myopic. I am very worry and depressed as doctor told me that it will get worse and worse but he just told me it took years and do not specifically tell me the estimate time frame. I do not how to handle my future as I am only 33 years old and I don't know how much of time I still have before i turn blind.

No responses since 2011 so not active at this time.  Recall I have told you myopic and age related macular degeneration do not make a person completely blind. It is a threat to your central vision but not your peripheral vision and 'dry' is better than 'wet'.
