Dr. Lu said that at this time she saw no evidence of Macular Degeneration. I was grateful to hear that. This is a hereditary concern from my mother, and both of my two older sisters. However, my other concern is that I still feel a slight twitch in my left eye. This is something which is new for me in the last few months and was also a concern that bothers me.
