Q: Premature Macular Degeneration tests
asked by: gmj on April 9th, 2009

I've been diagnosed with Bests Disease (Premature Macular Degeneration) since I was four, and my vision isn't very good but is still better than 20/40 corrected. I just went to my eye doctor yesterday, and she keeps telling me that I need to go get tests (like an OCT scan) and I'm really not interested in doing it-- not only is it expensive, but I feel like the information is so inconclusive that it's a waste of my time and money. Does anyone have any insight regarding tests like this? The doc says it could help to catch vascularization, but I'm still pretty nonplussed...
