Family History
A great uncle was diagnosed with a form of AMD. No one seems to know which kind it was and he has since passed away before I could ask. My sister also has a form of macular degeneration.

Impact on My Life
Cannot drive. Usually take the public transit (bus) most places when husband is at work or others are busy. Not to mention that I am to independent anyway.

Positive Effects
I don't let it get in my way. Am going to college and have still managed to work in the cleaning industry.

Adaptations

Just look a little off to the right to see what I need to see. Have a closed circuit television, and ZoomText on my computer.
