Geographic Atrophy (GA): Anyone else?

I was diagnosed with GA about a year ago. It’s the same eye that has wet macular degeneration and I get anti~VEGF injections every six weeks. There’s a new medication, Syfovre, that can slow the progression of GA, but as I am already getting injections in that eye and the GA appears to be stable (not growing) so far, I am waiting before trying anything new. I take my Areds2 supplements, eat more dark green leafy vegetables and I’m trying to avoid processed meats like bacon. I would have to double my injections to take Syfovre as it can’t be taken at the same time as anti~VEGF. Work is being done to develop a combination shot. So I’m waiting to see what happens with that. Right now my vision in that eye has a twisted area, kind of like water spinning around a drain just to the right of the center. But the amazing thing is that when I look with both my eyes, my brain takes the “better” input from my good eye and I don’t see the defect. How my brain knows which eye is getting the good info I have no idea - but I’m glad it does!
