mostlyjackie; I was diagnosed with wet AMD in right eye and dry AMD in left eye in August, 2022. I receive injections in the wet eye. However I'm losing central vision in the dry eye. Other than a healthy diet and vitamins there's nothing to be done for the dry. No one in my family has had AMD.

I also have no one in my family with AMD. My RD assured me that my parents must have both had the recessive gene. Lucky me. The loss of central vision in what you identify as the "dry eye" is concerning. Are you sure it hasn't turned wet? My doctor has said my dry eye will eventually turn wet. No doubt about it. I am encouraged by the Johns Hopkins study that reports 30% of people with AMD won't require injections after getting them for a year. I don't expect that to be true forever, but mine are now scheduled four months apart. I'm going to extend that by a month each time I go. We'll "see" what happens!
Btw, I'm in the PreserVision commercial! I say, "I was scared when I was first diagnosed with AMD." Then some other stuff, but that's how it starts.

How long have you had AMD before your wet diagnosis in 2022?
Are you late stage dry (GA) in one eye? There are eye injections for late stage dry.
