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

Do you have late stage Dry AMD, GA? I've not heard of shots for dry AMD before the late stage/GA.
Is this new?
The only treatment I've heard of for early to intermediate dry AMD is the AREDS2 vitamins and a healthy diet like the Mediterranean diet. Which I love so that is a good thing.
Good luck and stay positive.

My understanding is dry macular treatment is with eye vitamins not injection.
I have dry also and my specialist informed me of this.
Wet macular is treated with injections.
