eeb. Without going in to a lot of detail over the last ten years my central vision has detreated so much that I now have approximately 30% working with the other 60% giving no vision at all due to "Macular Degeneration" (up to now there is no treatment other than try to slow its advance down) to add more of a problem I have no depth of field plus the 30% working is in low level shades of grey with a little colour. I have to use a special keyboard plus the having to have all the images expanded on my computer monitor so I only see about 20% at one time so writing text is extremely time consuming and laborious, though my updated word processor helps a lot by spotting the typing errors. It is not all doom and gloom I am not heading for a Guide Dog and a White stick my peripheral vision is unaffected so far though that only starts to become useful after about ten feet. All in all I have lost some things and gained others, also there are more unfortunate people than my self, this is brought home to me every time I visit my specialist at his clinic.
