I am not familiar with this disease but the photos that were posted on the side about how a person's image is impacted was very powerful. The ability to see is very important and I think that we should continue to help those who are struggling with this disease. My vision is very important to me.
ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting topic and it is disease that I have never heard of before. I am excited to learn more!
ReplyDeleteI did a project in high school on this disease and I totally forgot about it until I read this blog. This is a great topic to inform people about.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize this disease affected so many people. 400,000 is so many. It should be interesting to hear about since eye diseases always fascinate me. Since my grandma has macular degeneration, I'm more prone to having it someday as well. I don't know how similar the diseases are though, this will be more interesting to learn about!
