Synopsis "a "victim's view" of age related macular degeneration"

A "Victim's View" of Age Related Macular Degeneration is an Autobiography recording nine years the unique real-life experiences that a victim of AMD encounters as the disease progresses. He takes the reader from his diagnosis through the initial degeneration to treatment and on to actual vision improvement. Late in his experience Avastin became a treatment option which he is currently undergoing. The author is a Mechanical Engineer and applies his mechanical diagnostic skills during his 9 year journey to actually visually assess his eye damage as it occurred. He reveals how he did this so others can do the same as he chronicles his most recent experiences in a "here and now" format that gives the reader a feel for the emotional aspects of losing vision acuity. The difficult decisions such as facing family issues as he was giving up driving an automobile are addressed. It is written for the families of Age Related Macular Degeneration patients as well as the victims. This book is printed in large 20 point type so some of the least impaired victims may read it for themselves.
