To Forum Members
I would like to thank all Forum members particularly all members who have bought my items for sale.If I might take a little of your time to explain I have collected from being a boy am now 72 my youngest daughter who is 46 was born blind in one eye she has now developed Vitreomacular traction in her good eye which will leave her blind ,there is no operation as of yet but the sale of my collection will go towards helping if and when an operation is available, various members asked me why I was selling and I told you a little white lie. Please don't send me anything as there is no cure and I would like you to all know that you have done more than enough with your advice to me and by buying my collection.I thank you all from the bottom of my heart from me Nicola my daughter and my family I will stay in touch on the forum as I find it fascinating
god bless you all and thanks again. Arty and my family

I'm sorry to hear this, i do hope your Daughter is coping as best as possible. My Father in law went blind after messing about with a friend, and an air rifle. He is an amazing bloke, when i first met him he was cutting the hedge with an electric hedge cutter . He is still best of mates with the chap that shot him too.....I do hope the best for her future, you too.
Andy

Arty,
Allow me to echo the comments of both Roy and Andy. My thoughts and prayers will be with you for the future. I can honestly say that when my wife was suffering a sustained life threatening condition I was so grateful to the nurses who gave us the strength and courage to keep fighting. I will always be thankful to them. Hang in there. James

I am very sorry to hear this Arty and thanks for having the courage to share this.
I have colleagues here in Australia doing clinical trials on new treatments for wet and dry macular degeneration which are showing great promise. There are also considerable advances being made in stem cell and gene therapy to treat some additional macular disorders with one of the leading institutions being University College London working with Moorfields Eye Hospital. Whilst not being able to help your daughter in the short term with this research I hope it provides some support to you that advances are being made that will help others with these conditions. Best regards Dean
