Is a cure on the horizon

I have wet in one eye, dry in the other. Looking to continue extending the time between injections. (Right now every 4 months) I too had AMD at a fairly young age (50). Good luck!

Mine must have started at 52 or 53 and progressed to intermediate without me even knowing I had it. I mean within 1 to 2 years it progressed to intermediate. And apparently progression at that rate from beginning to middle is uncommon since dry is usually slow progression. I don't know why this happening at my age. I just don't know.
How old are you now? How long has it been wet? Is yours more genetic?
How are you doing with the injections? Have they been helpful?
Thank you for replying.

Hi Mostlyjackie,
You mentioned being age 50 at diagnosis. Was that that early or intermediate? I'm curious how old you are now?
It seems everyday I learn something new about myself lol. I requested my records from my Opthalmologist because I was not getting the information I felt I deserved so I decided to start digging in on my own. At first, I believed I was 52 maybe when this started but according to my records they knew in at least 2018 that I had small drusen but failed to tell me, well in person, because according to my records we've had in depth conversations about it which is a total lie. Would I be this upset or as upset as I was if I've known this for seven plus years? Of course not, It was a total shock that messed me up bad. Then to find out I've been misled and lied to. Now, my calculations actually put me at 49/50 years old or younger 😡. I'm still seeing great thank the Lord.
I'm curious how you are doing, how long you've known, and at what stage were you diagnosed?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
I have a friend in the UK who was diagnosed maybe 17-20 years ago and she's still doing great. She's 70 and says she was diagnosed in her 50s but cannot remember exactly the year/age. She still drives and everything. I pray this will also be my story.
Talk soon, PTL
