Retinal "ink blots" when awaking in a dimly lit room

I get those some mornings; same shape each time with the right eye a bit larger gray rectangle than the left roundish one. I was diagnosed with dry AMD last year and haven't noted any vision changes yet (AREDS2 don't seem to help). I also have rather wimpy optic nerves, but the start this year suggests AMD.

My shapes have stayed consistency except for getting a bit larger and smaller over the course of a few days. They disappear after my eyes stay open for a second or two. I’ve been diagnosed with dry AMD in left eye and wet AMD in right eye. I’ve been getting injections in right.

I think AREDS 2 are intended to slow down the progression of AMD, not improve it, unfortunately.
