It is unlikely that I developed dry Macular Degeneration in one eye and dry-to-wet Macular Degeneration in the other in less than two months. Possible, but unlikely.

Since many of the readers on this sight are at the age they could develop Age-Related Macular Degeneration, I wanted to make them aware. I went in for signs and symptoms of Macular Degeneration, was told I didn’t have it. Luckily I had an appointment for my yearly check-up or I would still be undiagnosed and untreated. I wish I had gotten a second opinion in May before I lost more vision.
And you are correct in that is the most likely scenario. But I was simply pointing out the other possibilities. In any case, good luck with your ongoing treatments
