I'm seeing a retinal specialist for the intermediate Macular Degeneration. It's mild with no vision issues or wavy lines except on the amsler grid. My right eye is off a pinch but that eye has a little more drusen. No injections because it's dry. I see my regular opthalmologist for annual eye exams like vision acuity etc. I've always had perfect vision 20/10 now 20/20 with low readers for the first time in my life. I guess you can see my disappointment and concern to be diagnosed in my 50s especially when it's an "Age related disease". The majority are diagnosed 20 -30 years older.
The good thing so far is all of the specialists, including JHU (Wilmer eye institute) I've seen seem to think it will take decades before it will affect me, not sure how they know that, especially if I take good care of myself, but that's there prediction. There are some good things coming down the pike and I hope I can benefit from them.
Are you still living independently and driving?

Living with intermediate dry AMD: If you see a specialist trained low vision optometrist you can get a prescription for glasses that help you with tasks like driving. These glasses can make use of your undamaged areas of your eyes so you see clearer. These are regular framed glasses. I use non prescription foster grants for reading and their lens are much better quality than most you can buy over the counter. I have clip ons that attach to the driving glasses that function like a lens for closer up activities.
