AMD Treatments

I just came back from an appointment with my retinal specialist and I've never been so depressed. I had been diagnosed with dry AMD about a year ago. She reports that I have advanced AMD although I still have sight except for some wavy lines in addition to cataracts. She has pretty much told me that any and all—though not many AMD options—have risks—even could cause blindness. She also cautioned me that cataract removal carries same risks. And, not much has been approved by FDA.

Can anyone help me feel better! Anyone who's had success with treatment(s). Or, who could give me a better outlook on life. Some may have recognized me as having a hearing problem to address. Good thing the sun is shining today.
