You can look at these web links below on macular degeneration for more info. Most people with this condition end up with severe vision loss, but seldom end up being completely blind. Most people end up with a reduced field of vision, and visual acuity that is similar to the way things appear in low light levels at night time. The progression can be take many years or progress quickly. The rate of recent vision change will be a good indicator of the future rate. There are treatments that slow the progression, although they work well for some people and not so well for others.
