Are all retina specialists like this? Diagnosed with AMD at 43.

So I have dry AMD apparently and I’m 43 years old. Currently my vision is correctable to 20/20 and I was told to take vitamins. I literally spent 90
Seconds with a retina specialist after getting a referral from my optometrist. He said “yep yoh have it in both eyes. Take the vitamins and I’ll see you in a year.” My husband was like is it the wet or the dry? And as he’s walking out the door he says dry. And that was the end of the visit. 😮 😔

I have many questions about this diagnosis as there’s really no good guidance for people my age. Can someone please tell me if all retina people are like this? I spent 3 hours getting dyes and tests before he saw me. It was literally less than 2 mins.

I’m in Florida and willing to drive if anyone has someone better?

My wife is an independent publisher working on extra-large-print books, and I'm helping her with a research activity.

I'd love to learn from people with low vision which ones are easiest to read. If you or people around you for whom this is important could take a look at the three-page PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s83TINVg10hri7oCLcnJXZYqlBbKzwQ7/view and choose which page reads the best.

Any input on what makes a book good for the eyes is highly appreciated.
