(using drops),dry macular degeneration and cataracts in both eyes. I
am noticing slight changes. ....... does anybody have any ideas or
is there a medical person who can give me an idea what i am likely
facing. the doctors here don't tell me much. any input would be
appreciated. thanks.

I am sorry Andy that the doctors who treat you don't tell you much. It seems
to be the general attitude: The patient must be dumb anyway and has no need
to know much (because obviously s/he won't understand it). Too bad, and I
share your frustration.
