Condition: Macular Degeneration
T.Y. has sailed on the Intrepid, the 12-meter sailboat that won the America's Cup in 1967 and 1970. At 98 he still enjoys going out on the committee boat to watch races.

Traditional high-power reading glasses require you to hold material very close to read. He reports he sees better some days than others.
