Eyesight..?

Question

I have macular degeneration and have always been told (although not by an optician) that I can't wear contact lenses. Is this right?

Also does anyone have the same condition, if you do, do you know what happens later on in life in the way of eyesight.

This stuff has never been explained to me, if I ask the optician will they tell me?

Answer 1

well, mac degen in and of itself shouldnt KEEP you from being able to wear contacts...BUT if you're using LOW VISION devices or special glasses to help with your mac degen, those types of Rx's are not available in contacts
