Impact on My Life
I was diagnosed with Stargardt's a little over a year ago. I used to love to read, but now I find it very hard since I have to use magnifying devices. I am starting to feel depressed and frustrated with my life. I need some advice from others who have Stargardt's on how to stay positive and hopeful for the future.
Adaptations
Handheld magnifier, magnifying glasses, binocular telesope glasses, large print
