Hi, I am single 71 and had cataract surgery in September. I was diagnosed with AMD 20 or so years ago. My eye sight after cataract surgery is much worse. To be honest Iā€™m concerned and need to know what to expect. So I am on the journey, it is good to have this place to learn and know Iā€™m not alone. Thanks.
