From what I've learned since my diagnosis, I'm only 56, is shots are only for wet AMD which progresses very fast unlike dry which progresses slower unless it turns to GA... Shots for dry were recently approved but only recently.
Unless you have late stage AMD an opthalmologist should not be starting eye injections of any kind
Do you know if you have wet or dry AMD?
You have to advocate for yourself. The doctors will not do it for you.

I have dry AMD and am not getting shots. The doctor started talking about giving me shots, but I said I’d rather wait and let it run its course and that’s what we’re doing
