Impact on My Life
I have to ask my kids & husband to read stuff to me..It strains my eyes to try to read.I'm still driving at this time..But everything is getting blurry. I hate to drive,I can;t see the light or what color it is til I get up on it..i ask my kids what color is the light, My son also has the stargardt's. He is pretty stable at this time.He is almost 12. My 91/2 daughter is fine right now, she is seeing good. With my family it has got the first born child. I don't want me or my son to go blind. I pray that someone finds a cure.
