My wife(lesbian couple) was diagnosed a couple of years ago. No changes yet, but working with eye meds and eliminating seed oils.
How old were you when you were first diagnosed? My wife, like you, is very physically active-gardening, hiking, skiing. Seeing you be able to navigate your woods was a relief to see (no pun intended). Still am nervous for her-and us, but really appreciated your attitude.

Thank you for sharing this story. I would love to know what other supplements that Lori is taking, that she mentioned, beyond the doctor's advised eye meds/vitamins

Hi, and thanks for inquiring. Aside from taking doctor recommended “Eye Promise”, I also take resveratrol and omega 3.
Eye Promise has the highest dose of lutein and zeaxanthin in an eye vitamin and the resveratrol I take is derived from Japanese knotweed and it’s made by “Longevinex”. I also make my own medicinal tinctures and take those as well, reishi, lions mane, maitake, chaga and elderberry. I hope this helps. Wishing all the best, Lori

​@@lorifletcher66 thank you so much! I appreciate it. Wishing you the best! I have one drop of drusen in my right eye and taking it as a wakeup call. I've been researching methods, vitamins, etc... so I really appreciate your reply and information. I'm going to look into the supplements that you suggested. I'm also cutting out seed oils. I'm also investigating German new medicine, etc... thank you so much!
