Based on the available search results, there isn't specific information about wet AMD becoming geographic atrophy after years of injections. However, it's important to understand that AMD can present in different ways - you can have wet AMD at the same time as dry AMD or geographic atrophy.

The key difference is that wet AMD symptoms develop rapidly (over days to weeks) due to leaking blood vessels, while geographic atrophy develops gradually and is characterized by patches of dead cells in the macula. Common symptoms that may overlap between both conditions include:
• Blind spots in central vision
• Loss of color vision
• Difficulty seeing in low light
• Problems with daily tasks like reading and recognizing faces

If you're noticing changes in your vision, it's important to contact your eye care professional right away, as they can properly evaluate any changes in your condition.
