Quarantine and increasing sight loss

Posted on by One Vision

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.

Some progression in my sight loss

Posted on by One Vision
A few weeks ago I rang Boots opticians as I thought I could do with a spare pair of reading glasses.
I’m so protective of my readers as they are letting me keep reading books on my phone and keeping in touch with people via all the messaging media we have today.
They couldn’t send the prescription out as the branch is shut near me.
I had some lovely retro wing style tortoiseshell lovelies in my basket online ready and waiting ☺
OK I thought, it’s only for a spare pair… I will just treasure the ones that I have. I’m very protective of them.
I had noticed the last few weeks that whilst painting I had to put my readers on as if I didn’t it would have looked like a monkey 🙊 had painted my kitchen.
But yesterday… I’m reading something on my phone and thought ‘where are my glasses’…
I had them on. This doesn’t bode well does it?
So some progression of the disease has happened and another call to Boots to see if I can get an eye test appointment will have to happen if this gets any worse… Or maybe a bigger phone as I’m already on huge font.
Yes… That’s a thing. Samsung call their biggest font… Huge…
Keep safe everyone ☺
