This is a complex situation since you have both wet AMD and atrophy. Geographic atrophy can occur over time and cause vision loss even when wet AMD is being treated. While eye injections can help control the wet AMD component, they don't prevent atrophy from progressing.

There are now specific treatments available for geographic atrophy called complement inhibitor injections, which work differently than the anti-VEGF medications (like Vabysmo) used for wet AMD. You may want to discuss with your doctor whether you could benefit from complement inhibitors, either instead of or in addition to your current treatment.
