The doctors are very informed. Those drugs are blood vessel growth inhibitors, and they can be prescribed to persons with wet AMD, but they will do zip for a person with the DRY form.

The doctor is absolutely right - vitamins and sunglasses are your best defense for either type of AMD, especially for the dry where there is no treatment. Sadly, many experimental treatments for dry AMD fizzled out, including a drug under development by a local co here in my neck of the woods.
