It started like a grey shadow in my first eye in the central vision and a smaller one in my other eye..not as large. Both have not increased in size since the injections

In my initial right eye I waited a few days to make an appointment, when it happened in my left I went in right away, was already a established patient and got in really quick. In retrospect I should have gotten in sooner with my original right eye... didn't think it was as serious as it is. But after 2 years of injections I can say it's getting better slowly and easier
Hope you journey becomes routine and easy ❤️

Having dark or blank spots in your vision can be a symptom of advancing AMD. These spots, also known as scotomas, commonly appear in the central vision and may look black, gray, or red. Given your diagnosis of intermediate AMD with medium to large drusen, experiencing such spots is consistent with the condition. It's important to monitor any changes in your vision carefully. Since you're noticing this specific symptom, you should:

• Use an Amsler grid daily to track vision changes
• Contact your eye doctor right away to report this new symptom
• Keep track of whether the spot changes in size or if new spots appear
• Note if you experience any other vision changes like blurriness or distortion

Early detection and monitoring of vision changes is crucial for managing AMD effectively.
