I am terrified of losing my sight to Macular Degeneration [View all]

I have been doing everything they ask me to, I had a good appointment with my retinologist who said I had "the best sight he would see today". But I lived with my Dad who had it and know what is coming. I can't seem to get past that. How have others dealt with that. I am 63 years old, about the age my Dad's started. I am taking alreds II and restveratol, I had been taking it before I was diagnosed.
