My 93 yr old aunt has the same thing. I take care of her business affairs and have bought the talking watch, illuminated magnifier, large button phone, etc for her. It’s still tough on her, but the items have helped. She listens to audiobooks on tape a lot, so I bought her that for Christmas.

Macular degeneration sucks. My dad had it. We bought a big button speaker phone with the speaker button on the right and then programmed the speed dials down the right side so 3, 6 and 9 corresponded to each of us kids. That way he only had to feel for the right side of the phone. It’s a terrible disease that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I’m glad to see they are making more devices for dealing with it.

Macular degeneration does suck. Katie is mom’s first grandchild. She had wanted a grandbaby for a long time, and now that she has one she can barely see her. Like you say, I would’t wish it on my worst enemy, and to see it happen to a great person like my mom just really makes me mad at the injustice of the entire universe. Grrr…

My grandma has Macular degeneration and im looking for all the gift ideas i can find. She likes the books on tape. Any other ideas would be really appreciated

It’s probably time for an update, so here goes:
