Dry Macular degeneration
I have early maculopathy. Diagnosed 8 months ago on a regular check up but now i see wavy lines on amslr grid. Searched on a internet that there is currently no cure for this but stem cell research is going on. I want to ask if there is any promising research that is going on for this condition to reverse and how many years or decades it will take to come into practice? Not just stem cells any research. Thank you
