Diagnosis
Wet MD

Eyes Affected
Right

Eye Color
Green

Age at Diagnosis
56

Acuity
20/70 with glasses

Avastin injections

Prognosis or Current State of Vision
MD still progressing. May combine PDT with Avastin if vision continues to deteriorate

Family History
No family history of MD on either side.

Impact on My Life
I haven't sorted this out yet.

Employment
Because I live 10 miles from my workplace I need to be able to drive. And since I work a late-night shift, public transportation is not an option. If my MD progresses and spreads to my other eye, I will need to either find a day job or move to within walking distance of my workplace.
