This is such great information. I'm thinking if your dad presented with wet even in one eye at his diagnosis that they started the injections immediately because wet AMD is when the injections begin. How is the dry AMD eye? They now have injections for it but only if it progresses to GA, or has also turned wet?
I bet your dad had dry AMD for 7 to 10 years before he was diagnosed. Which would put him close to my age. That's just me guessing of course.
I believe my elderly father was diagnosed and sent on his way without anyone explaining what he had or how important it was to get treatment. He probably presented as wet and he went blind not knowing it. He never mentioned it. He passed away three years ago and today I am in sadness not being to help him because the opthalmologist did care to inform him. I am now getting to bottom of it.
I do apologize for always going on so long.

It's still dry.
If that's what happened to your Dad, I'm so sorry. That is horrible to think a doctor didn't care enough to make sure he explained everything well, and how important the injections are. My Dad says they don't hurt at all.
