Yes, I have some wavy lines in my left eye, but not my right. I have early dry macular degeneration in both eyes. I did have surgery several years before I was diagnosed because I had macular hole in the left eye. My opthamologist said that the macular hole (or pucker as it is called by some) caused that waviness in my left eye. Hope that helps! Celia

Yes, wavy lines can appear in dry AMD. This symptom occurs particularly when looking at objects that should have straight edges, like window blinds or doorframes, but they appear curved or distorted instead. This is a common symptom of dry AMD, especially in cases of geographic atrophy (advanced dry AMD). It's recommended to check your vision daily using an Amsler grid - a special square with a grid pattern and dot in the middle. If straight lines suddenly appear wavy on the Amsler grid, contact your eye doctor immediately as this could signal progression to wet AMD, which requires prompt treatment.
