Lylas G. Mogk - Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Saving and Maximizing Your Sight

Praise from the experts forMacular Degeneration

If you read only one book on age-related macular degeneration, this is it. I have a shelf full of books on the topic and the Mogks book stands above them all. Written with great warmth and compassion, it is full of solid medicine, excellent ideas, and practical advice. I believe it should be given to every person at the same time they receive their diagnosis of AMD.
