Kind Regards

Does anyone have any experience of wet macular degeneration. I have a friend who has been diagnosed with it and has basically been told his vision will deteoriate rapidly and that the only treatment that can slow down the process is monthly injections into the eye that cost £2000 a time and not available on the NHS?? Taking into account he is a self employed roofer and his main hobby is shooting, he and his wife are obviously very concerned (must add he is only 48).
Any further advice/information that anyone can provide that I can pass on to them would be great
Thanks
Sarah
