Photobiomodulation for Early/Intermediate Dry AMD

I did take Preservision for a few years after first being diagnosed. But it was making me sick. I didn’t realize that’s what it was until I stopped taking them. I had been getting progressively sicker and sicker. There’s a long thread on this forum about side effects of AREDS that I posted my story on.

I don’t know if the medical community knows why AMD goes from dry to wet or if we have any control over it. My doc (new doc because first one retired) watched me closely for a couple of years, first every four months, then every six months, and now only once a year to determine that my eyes were stable and not in imminent danger of going wet.

I was taking the preservision AREDS2 and they caused acid reflux. I now take Walmart brand equate the ingredients are exactly as preservision and half the price. They are little tablets not capsules and I have not had any issues taking them.
What does your doctor say about you not taking them? I think the risk of progression is only like 25% taking the vitamins.
So your mom and her siblings were spared AMD? I didn't think it skipped generations.
Are you in the states?.
