6. I was diagnosed about 11 years ago

I was about your age when diagnosed. By then I had already lost my central vision in my right eye, but my left eye was clear. Now I have a C shaped area of degeneration in my left eye which is gradually getting closer and closer to my central vision. I have multiple blind areas, especially with my near vision. I don't do so bad with my distance vision so far. I too dread the day when the left central vision is gone. No more reading anything. No DU or anything on my computer. It will be put out to pasture. I have been taking the vitamins as recommended the entire time. It is dry MD, so no other treatment available. I do not live anywhere near a state with legal medical or recreational marijuana.
