Quarantine and increasing sight loss

Going for a walk in Quarantine.

I now cannot walk the dog on long walks as I trip over her due to the side blind spot that shouldn’t be happening. Shorter walks I concentrate. This is why I had the tests. My eyesight is getting worse during lockdown. The last month of it anyway. I need more glasses, a new eye test, as these make me see. Literally are making me see now. Not just helping.
Glasses don’t take away the blind spots.
I’m now wondering if I will have to have more tests as I’m sure the ones I’ve had are now obsolete. Still waiting to go for the results of the last ones. I’m very down at the moment.
I said this blog would be truthful.
The fact I don’t have the results and that they maybe wrong now makes me think why do I need to know. Ignorance maybe bliss in alot of things.
I’m still positive.
I’m worrying for the future but I have to live for today.
