How I was diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy.
The first time I had an inkling something was wrong before my diagnosis, In my case, it wasn’t a big fancy opticians, wasn’t a specialist. The answer may surprise you ☺.
After suddenly finding myself not being able to read the newspaper one day, and only being able to read the headlines, after being completely fine the week before. It was whilst I was shopping in Asda that I saw they had an opticians in store.
Years ago I had been to specsavers, because I felt I needed an eye exam as I hadn’t had one for years. The dystrophy would have been in there, but wasn’t found.
I had my eye test and she explained that my macular was thin for my age. This needed looking at. She referred me to the eye centre there and then.
I went to that appointment. Had the tests beforehand, then went to see the consultant that explained I had Macular Dystrophy and was born with this condition.
So, there you go.
If you are worried about your eye health in anyway, best get yourself an appointment to be on the safe side as you never know what’s happening and sight is taken for granted.
Thank you to the lady who referred me that day, it set in motion a diagnosis for me.
