Diagnosed with dry at first then deteriorating to wet over a year ago. On AREDS2 the whole time. Can’t say one way or the other whether it helps, but it certainly didn’t prevent going to wet! Ever since have been getting periodic needle injections into both eyes. These apparently have arrested and actually improved the condition, but not my idea of fun!

My wife’s dry macular degeneration went to wet in her right eye about two years ago, so she has to get an injection in that eye every 4-6 weeks. Seems to be arresting the condition, at least so far. The left eye is still dry MD for now.

It’s a scary thing. I wish you the best with your eyes.

Forgot to say that she takes something like AREDS-2 but zinc-free, because any sort of zinc supplement gives her really bad headaches.
