I don't have Macular Degeneration. Do you have your own guide dog for your sighted and deaf? My vr asked me if I would get a guide dog. I told him no. I already have my own small dog. I don't like to have a shedding fur on everywhere. I didn't need the cane because I can see like a normal and walking fine. I don't want anyone to know who I am if I become a blind. It really scared me! I don't want to lose my favorite stuff. I am doing with beadwork on magnifier with bright light. I want to have a surgery on my vision in future. But I am still research to find a best fit for me. I am not sure about stem cell and bionic between. In our American can't have stem cell for patients. In China have Stem Cell legal for every patient's disease.

At the moment, I'm sighted, although started noticing night vision problems. It surprised me as it is a genetic condition (Not Ushers), and I'm learning to deal with it very well.  |
