Infernotemporal defect – Temporal vision

Well, I’ve just had my follow up letter from my last appointment with the eye centre and comfimation of a infernotemporal defect.

The problems I’ve had in my right eye, I’ve discussed before in earlier posts.

I’m very sad today. Scared and sad to be completely honest.

It’s one thing knowing my peripheral vision in my right eye is failing but another to have it seen inside by my consultant.

They have said my peripheral vision shouldn’t be compromised with the condition I have so this is why I’m having all these tests.

There must be another condition or something else wrong in there.

I still have to wait to see the main man, in a few months for the results of all these tests.

Some ice cream and a beer is in order to make me feel a little better about something there’s nothing I can do about.

Or just one mahoosive bender.

I think my left eye is OK… Peripherally.

Small mercies and all that. But that’s what you have to do. Pick the good bits out and appreciate the small things.

I have an appointment now to see the consultant. On the 4th of November.

I\’m hoping now that my appointment for my ERG which was said would be in Huddersfield, will come before I go.

I was told I was seeing him around Christmas, so I\’m trying not to worry.

It is what it is ☺

Outer Retinal Atrophy.

This was written on my follow up letter also, after I had my consultation with the specialist a few weeks ago.

I really cannot find out much about what this means and because the letter came afterwards couldn’t ask. I will have to wait until I see him again.

So really don’t want to put my findings here incase they aren’t correct.

Don’t think I want to know.

Will post at a later date about this when I find out.
