OT, but I've been meaning to ask. What is your association with the
above site? I'm not trying to pry or get too personal here. The
reason I ask, an older friend is suffering from macular degeneration
and is becoming quite depressed because he has had to give up driving
and several of his other hobbies. He was here for a visit today and
had to be driven. I might refer this aid to him.

I've two sons with premature Macular degradation also called
Stargardt's disease. Ocutech device was the only thing that helped when
they wear it which is not often. Doesn't look stylish but it enabled
being able to see the blackboard. Not great for reading but low vision
doctor's may help with that. Cost is US $ 1500 each. Conventional
glasses don't work as their center vision is gone.
Think portable telescope.

Erik is 28 and had vision problems since age 14.

Kurt is 26 and was able to drive 1 year his hit at age 18.
