Accounts of Personal Experiences with MD Treatments

A public service of MD Support


    This is a collection of postings to MDList and MDForum by people who have undergone various treatments, both approved and experimental, for macular degeneration and related conditions. The writers describe their experiences and impressions, in their own words, with the intention of providing first hand knowledge for others who may be considering treatment.

    Additions to the archives will be made as they are received on MDList, MDForum, or by personal email to the MD Support director. We welcome all contributions.
