Suggest Precautionary Measures When Diagnosed With ARMD
Question: Dr. Heijebu, Thank you for your email. My eyes are comfortable at this time but no improvement in vision. I don't expect that to happen now.
I have had some information from 'The Foundation Fighting Blindness'. This particular message was from Toronto, butI think Doctors in both Canada and United States are working together on this. It is with great hope their Stem Cell Research will help persons with MD, Stargardt disease, etc. in the future.
With thanks and appreciation,
XXXX
