Drusen in my eyes

My dry AMD comment wasn't addressed either. I had drusen last year and in Feb. the doctors said they are much worse so AREDS 2 and carrots, more greens, omega 3. My vision also is fine so far (other than dry eye [preservative free eye drops, warm eye mask, clean eyelids]). Apparently there are also at least two types of dusen, hard and soft. The hard are not as problematic because they just sit, while the soft drusen can spread and cause more vision problems. I don't have any risk factors, other than slightly elevated HDLP (the "healthier" cholesterol, but maybe not for eyes). There is an interesting book "the country of the blind", which is more informative and upbeat than the title suggests. If dry AMD progresses, it is generally slowly over years.

Thanks, I didn't know there were two different kinds of drusen. I'll look for the book you mentioned.
