You must also have the slower but untreatable dry type.. Are you taking the vitamins for yours ?... Like you said each indvidual rogresses at a different rate.. As for reading, to read this forum anymore I have to kick the screen up to 125 percent to read it... Same problem as you with street signs etc... I also have a problem if the sign or type is to big.. It is so full of holes I can;t read it... Have a lot of trouble with photographs etc...
My father in law has the wet type... They have shots they give him in the eyes and do some laser surgery to remove scar tissue or whatever... He seems to be holding.. When it deteriorates to a point he goes in and gets more shots and or surgery..
With me so much depends on the lighting... In the bright sun I can read pretty good.. In the average lit house I need a flashlight to read the thermometer etc... I listen to TV more the try and watch it anymore...
Life goes on...
