Anyone have intermediate Macular Degeneration

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed in 2021. I first noticed symptoms when I was riding my bicycle- the front tire look really crooked. And then I noticed that the telephone poles along the road weren’t too straight either.
I have wet AMD in the left eye and dry AMD in the right. My wet AMD has been treated every 4-6 weeks since diagnosis with VEG-F injections. Right now I’m taking Eyelia-HD and my doctor is hopeful that the time between injections can be extended.
The visual distortions have gone away but I have some darkening of central vision. Overall my eyesight has not changed much. My eye with dry AMD remains untreated.

Hello,
Thank you for responding. You were diagnosed with wet Macular Degeneration initially? You didn't know anything was wrong until the wavy lines? Just curious if you were going for regular eye exams prior? Annually or biannually. Are you still able to drive, read, recognize faces, and ride your bike? I hope so.
I'm still mild intermediate. My concentration is on staying healthy, active, eating lots of fruits & veggies, and fish etc, and taking my vitamins daily. Oh and wearing uv/uvb sunglasses.
Hope to chat again.
