It’s really tough watching someone you care about go through AMD, especially when every situation is different. What helps most is staying closely connected with the ophthalmologist and keeping realistic expectations about treatment. Some people maintain enough independence for many years with support, others experience faster changes. The emotional side is just as important as the medical one, so your friend will really benefit from having someone like you checking in and offering steady reassurance — just being there, even during quiet moments at home on a chinioti bed, can make a real difference.
