I used my new glasses to play in a bridge tournament and won second place! I could not have done it without these glasses.
When they first told me I had macular degeneration, I asked ‘What’s that?’ It’s amazing. I’m so thankful for technologies like these.
Most of all I can read music. I am telling my friends about my new glasses.
I have been blessed with the opportunity to drive some of the world’s fastest cars on some of the world’s most famous tracks. I was not going to let something like Macular Degeneration slow me down.
I’ve been able to get back behind the wheel and drive again. Now I am able to get back some of my freedom, ability to see, and drive. The majority of what I do is computer and reading work. Dr. Shuldiner was able to give me many tools and techniques and the proper glasses to improve my capabilities of reading.
When my macular degeneration began to interfere with my regular daily routine, I knew I needed help. Now, I have more confidence and see my daughter’s face so clearly.
It has been a pleasure wearing the E-Scoops since obtaining them last Friday! It was wonderful being able to watch our granddaughter in her Junior Olympic Water Polo meets this past weekend. Thank you!
Thanks so much for making me these glasses, I can’t wait to use them!
