Hello Velmurugan,
I’ve reviewed your reports, thanks for sharing these. Unfortunately there is not treatment for this problem. However monitoring the condition through regular retina and eye check ups, roughly once a year are very important.
Next Steps
Yearly check ups.

Usually, DRY ARMD happens in old age as the name suggests after 50 to 55 years of age. From the OCT, I can make out that you have foveal atrophy which currently has no treatment available.
For further details, you can consult with a nearby retinal specialist.
