Most individuals like to remain independent, but blindness makes you to be dependent, particularly if you go blind when you are older. At least while you are younger, you have a long time to learn how to deal with it.

There are a number of ways that you can lose your sight when you are older but one that effects 10% of those more than 65 and 30% of those over 75 years is macular degeneration. It is often referred to as age-related macular degeneration, ARMD or just AMD because it tends to have an effect on those individuals who are more than 50 years of age.

However, macular degeneration only affects the centre 2.1% of your field of vision, so it is very rare for ARMD to become the cause of complete blindness. The problem is that that 2.1%, centre field of vision is extremely important for recognizing people and for reading.

So what can you do about it, if you get ARMD? One choice would be to buy a guide dog, a ‘blind dog’, as they say in the UK or a ‘seeing eye dog’ as they say in America. A guide dog will help prevent you from bumping into things, which you might well do if you lose your central field of vision.

However, the rapport of a blind person with a guide dog though is extra-ordinary. The dog knows that it is being relied upon for its master’ safety.

If you make a decision to go down the road of procuring a guide dog, the best place to start is your national association for the blind, the address of which you can find either at your doctor’s, in Yellow Pages or on the Net. Some countries’ organizations will charge you for providing a guide dog and others will subsidize your getting a guide dog and its training.

It would be a great idea to order a guide dog as soon as you are diagnosed with a disease that threatens your eyesight because that will give you more time to get to know and choose a puppy as your future companion.
