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.

Wow! It sounds like you are doing everything right.
In answer to your question, I had regular eye checkups but skipped one due to COVID lockdown. So I was diagnosed about 18 months after my previous exam.
With the treatments, my vision is good with no curtailment of activities, except that I no longer can ski when the light is flat. But at 73, I can live with that!
All good luck to you, and keep up the good work!
