Yeah that’s what it is. My father had it years ago, early onset but he resisted going to the eye dr. And I don’t think they had these injections back then. He was legally blind. He also resisted going to a rehab place where they could show him how to compensate. He was forced to retire and really went downhill fast. It’s one of the things I fear about getting older. I’m already deaf, loosing my sight would be so traumatic. But dad had blue eyes, never wore sunglasses and he smoked. Mum’s is age related, she’s 94. I can’t imagine being that old.
