Nice article! It happens so many times that diminishing vision is considered a part of old age and neglected. Diseases like ARMD need to be identified in the initial stages.

Is there some assistance that can be obtained through medicaid or medicare? Such as someone who could come in once a week to clean her house, Look to see what she needs as far as groceries, etc. She needs a phone with large numbers and amplified sound, she needs a lift chair because it is getting more difficult for her to get up out of her chair....therefore she stays in bed too much. She cannot afford to buy these things and I'm hoping she will be able to get help from the government. She is 87 years old and lives alone. I am the only person who goes over to help her and I'm not too well myself. I would appreciate your response. Thank you. Dagmar
