A myAMDteam member who lives with dry AMD emphasizes not settling for a doctor who brushes you off. She found that switching to a world-renowned researcher gave her better understanding of her condition and more hope because the new doctor took time to explain different types of AMD and treatment options.

Routine eye exams every six months are typically recommended, and finding a specialist early can help you stay on top of your condition.
