“When I married my wife, stacy [Weitzman in 1978]I was lucky enough to get an incredible father-in-law as a gift,” Winkler told us. “Ed was tall, [had a] Mustache, [was] a friendly, funny [man], He was an extraordinary dentist. Then, he became my dentist, and I knew I was in good hands. Of course, he worked in a very small space. I saw AMD start to enter her life, and when that happens to someone that you love, that you enjoy, not only do you feel bad for that person, but it affects you. There is a wake-up call.

You don’t feel anything when aging macular degeneration starts.” All of a sudden your vision changes and then it can progress. It can progress to an even more serious condition, which is geographic atrophy.
