Diane Marshall's vision problems began about 25 years ago, when she was 54. Her doctors told her not to worry about it. "There'll be a cure for the progression by the time it happens to you.” Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Now she's legally blind, with 20/200 vision. Geographic atrophy (GA) affected her career, as well as her love of photography. She remains independent with the help of assistive devices such as Meta AI glasses (phone, internet, and camera in one), Applescript (turns text to speech), and GoGoGrandparent (provides on-demand services like rides and groceries). Eye injections helped some. She's now trying red light therapy.
