Members shared their experiences with depth perception challenges caused by various stages of macular degeneration, with several describing difficulty navigating stairs, curbs, and judging distances while driving, particularly on cloudy days or in bright sunlight. Several members found relief using tinted or polarized sunglasses to reduce glare, with yellow lenses and cocoon-style glasses mentioned as helpful options, while one member recommended Zaditor eye drops for managing itchy eyes. A recurring theme was the anxiety around driving safely with AMD, including concerns about upcoming vision tests and the uncertainty of whether their sight remained reliable enough to continue driving independently.
