Thx DG, I have had a bit of a read and yes, sadly, seems to be the case, over 80 and they are not really that worried! I have read that a good multivit and anti oxidant can slow the progress, so will look @ that so long and help her along best we can, hers is the dry degeneration, so the injections will sadly not help, but thankyou for responding, it is greatly appreciated. x
