"What are the chances my dry AMD will develop into wet AMD?"

About 10-15% of people with dry AMD will develop wet AMD. While this means most people with dry AMD won't develop the wet form, it's important to monitor your condition carefully since wet AMD can progress more quickly and cause more severe vision problems if left untreated. To help protect your vision, watch for these changes and contact your eye doctor immediately if you notice:
• Blurry central vision
• Straight lines appearing wavy or curved
• Loss of color vision
• Dark spots in your visual field
• Any sudden changes in vision

Early detection and treatment are crucial for preserving your vision if wet AMD develops.
