Living With Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Central to coping:
Sharing common experiences

Living well with any chronic illness, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) included, is equal parts knowledge and inspiration. You need knowledge to make informed decisions about your condition, to know what to expect from treatment, and to find the tools, resources, and other support you need.

The inspiration part is sometimes harder to come by but no less essential. It's what keeps you going back for therapy at your doctor's recommendation…even when the results aren't immediately apparent. It's what helps get you through the day…when just getting through the day may seem a triumph in itself.

Read the real-life stories of people like you
With that in mind, we've posted in this section the real-life stories of Visudyne patients who are living with AMD. We hope you find these stories a source of inspiration and support.
