Please let me know what you find out.
Are you intermediate and are you experiencing any vision loss? I am intermediate but have no idea when I was in the early stage. Very confusing because I have always seen my opthalmologist annually until COVID then it was impossible to get an appointment but that was only two years. It seems I went straight to intermediate. My vision is still very good... I'm kinda young for this,I'm 56. It's very upsetting.

I was diagnosed in my 50’s, too. And I completely freaked out. But my specialist told me my vision would most likely not be affected until I was in my 80’s. I’m not sure how he would know that.

As for “intermediate”, I don’t know. My doc hasn’t used that term. He says “mild” and “stable”. I don’t exactly have vision loss, but the spots on the macula often make straight lines look wavy. I can only see that if I concentrate on it, though. Otherwise, my eyes or brain compensate.
