Khublei, uncle. The dry one is slow vision loss, the wet one is when new blood vessels leak and blur things suddenly. You can check your central vision at home with that Amsler grid, just focus on the dot and see if lines warp. And those anti-VEGF injections go right into the eye to stop the leaking.
I say this because I delayed taking my mother for her fuzzy vision, thinking it was just ageing, until a straight line on my bamboo sketch looked bent to her. That’s when we used a grid from the doctor, and now we travel to Guwahati every month for her injections, which she calls her ‘little pinch of hope’.
