Certainly a condition a former aviator would never had anticipated.
Hope it doesn’t get any worse. Take care..

I hope you can avail yourself of some of the incredible technology that should be available to you--some of it even free. Please check with your county as to what resources are available for those with vision loss.

Sorry about the macular degeneration. That can't be easy to live with because vision is so damned important.

I know someone who works with a lady online who is blind. And she uses reading software and voice to text. I hope that helps with some of your challenges.

Hang in there buddy! We're all in for a wild ride, and together we're going to make it through this.

It was working. Ask your eye dr not sure the names of the medications for that. Not a cure but it can slow it up and even slightly heal the damage.
