Thank you, Kathryn. According to what I've read those eye vitamins DO help slow the progression (although some sources say they only work at a certain more advanced stage.).

Fourteen years is a VERY good run of good sightedness! May it continue ever after! (I'm assuming you have the condition in both eyes.)

I'm still confused (storing up questions for a retinalogist). Some people. say, "oh, good. You have the wet kind so you can have injections", while others (this thread) say it's worse, a sign of greater risk and blindness.

I wonder how much the qualification for injections is a function of what helps the type of disease in that eye, and how much it's a matter of insurance coverage. (The. expense is becoming an increasing. factor in whether or not injections are approved.)

I know researchers are working to come up with injections specifically designed for Dry Macular Degeneration. I. thought the injections effectively dried up the abnormal blood vessels, so I guess they must exist in any eye with macular degeneration whether or not they have started to bleed.
