My vision is getting slowly worse; esp far. I have gotten new glasses too. I guess the Avastin inj and vitamins are only doing enough to prevent severe vision loss. My Dr does not seem concerned. He is supposed to be excellent at treating this. I am pondering a 2nd opiion.

Does he communicate with you about your test results, i.e., OCT scans? Do you have fluid remaining under your retina? Otherwise, I would ask him or look at the visit notes. A good number to follow is the CMT ( central macular thickness) on the OCT scan. It should not be increasing.
Avastin is for WET macular degeneration IAMD). I think this thread is mostly for the dry form of AMD.
AREDS2 will neither stop nor cure any type of AMD. It will, hopefully, slow the progression.

Have you been diagnosed with cataracts or macular degeneration that is causing your vision to get worse?
