    I have wet AMD and get injections. They don’t hurt and have helped my vision. I eat well, walk daily, keep active, take supplements, wear sunglasses. AMD is in my family - Mom, her sister, Grandmother. Thanks doctors for talking about this condition
  • Best doctor's channel on youtube! Thank you for your approach to all health issues - humour, easy explanation, clarity, compactness! Really helpful for the overall education which we all need to keep up going at any age!

    Thanks Dr. Bindlish! The news just keeps getting better for growing older lol! Thanks so much, Docs. Your videos are so important and appreciated!
  • Y'all always amaze me your videos !!! I got a cousin that had some eye issues and did noting about it and total lost her site . So folks please get checked with any health issues , you just never know . Doc Blindlish is awesome . And so are y'all .
  • I have Macular Degeneration in my left eye. I had blurring in the eye, so I went to an Ophthalmologist who diagnosed the Macular Degeneration. He told me it was nothing I had done, it is genetic, and my mother had it. Now, I take a vitamin Macutene (X2) and it has helped a lot, but the grid still doesn't have straight lines. BTW, getting older is totally the pits!!! There's no such thing as "golden" years!!!!

    Thank you Drs. Bindlish, Zalzal and Weening for the great information. I was told by my optometrist during my last eye check up that I am developing a cataract in one eye. My vision in that eye has become blurry, so I am going to ask for a referral to see an ophthalmologist. Thank you once again 👍
