Macular Distrophy
Hello,First of all, thanks for having this website and helping so many people :)
I was diagnosed an unidentified form of macular distrophy two years ago. I started noting some of the symptoms maybe five years ago but wasn't really aware of them. It progress really slowly, hardly even noticeable until I got diagnosed. Since then it has got much worse, and I know that has to do with the fact that I now know I have it. But in the last few weeks it has gone worse and today I'm seeing a lot of distortion, particularly with my right eye.
I still don't experience black holes but the distorsio is quickly transforming to bluriness.
I live in Philippines, working as a volunteer, originally from Mexico. What treatment should I follow?
Thank you very much
