Wet to dry AMD ?

I am not an expert but I have not heard of this happening to anyone and did not find any research on the subject. Have you seen a retinal specialist yet? If not you may want to consider seeing one for a definitive diagnosis. Be sure and ask questions until you understand your situation. I find it helpful to write my questions down.

Hi ChrisP, We are having similar experiences. TODAY! my Dr said that I might be going from Dry to Wet AMD, because of a bulge in my retina.


The background, 74yo, About 7 years ago, I noticed that straight lines, in tall buildings, telephone poles and street lights looked broken in the middle. A sharp displacement of the line. I went to a specialist and they diagnosed Dry, gave me an Amsler grid and told me to take vitamins. They condition stayed stable, until 4 years ago when I couldn't read highway signs, the letters were all jumbled up. 2 years later I noticed while playing golf that I would see 2 golf balls, 2 birds and 2 planes in the sky. I changed to a liquid, vitamin called VISION 20/20 and after 2 years the broken poles and building were hardly noticeable. The Dr. said that my Dry was gone, but not be be too happy, because it will come back. A year later, now it has come back as Wet or shall I say almost Wet.


The bulge, I mentioned earlier could be possibly new tissue that has grown over the old in my retina or a blood vessel that is leaking. The later is the most troubling. Recommendation is to come back in 30 days for another look and possibly Anti-VEGF injections. I hope this confirms some of what you have experienced.
