My progression so far… #3

My progression so far…#3

Previously

⚫ May 2015… At diagnosis. 20/20 best corrected (ie… With distance glasses)
⚫ 21st September 2017… 20/30 vision best corrected.
⚫ 27th September 2019…
My right eye best corrected, is 20/80.
My left eye best corrected is 20/60.
Haven’t had results yet from hospital. Still waiting, so same acuity stands. As I’m taking the hospital readings at the moment.

New additions

⚫ I’ve started wandering around with my reading glasses on again. I may need more soon. I’ve only had these since July last year (2020)… Approx 9 months.

⚫ It’s like I live in the crooked house. I’m certain windows, mirrors etc are on a slant. Even the floors. This now matches the slanted text I read.

⚫ The sweet spot I had that would appeared now and again has now gone. It was a very clear pinpoint with blurryness all around it. Then a split second later it would go back to how I see now. I was fascinated and thought those little moments were wonderful. You blinked and it was gone. Now it has.

⚫ When focusing without glasses my eyes cross. They are trying so hard. Photographs have been deleted because I never knew until seeing pictures I’ve taken. Now it makes me self conscious. I don’t want to see it. Maybe one day I will get used to that.

Here is my last progression update:-
