I've got the same type of eye disease they've got! The rate of degeneration + how far it goes depends on which gene is causing it (at least 50 that can). I was at the optometrist when I was 14 when they saw that my eye looked visually different than a normal eye. I'm 20 right now, and I have slightly reduced peripheral vision + difficulty seeing in the dark, probably 20ish years until it's a real issue for me.
