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 ☺

Happy New year everyone ☺
This year it’s all about making visual memories for me, and to do and see the things I want to see as this does feel like a runaway train.
I also want to spend alot of time with people just because I worry I won’t remember their faces. Details are quite blurry now and have to stop myself doing the ‘starey’ thing.
As there isn’t a date or a timeline as docs can only give us an estimate which was 5 to 15 years from diagnosis for me.
I’m going into the year positive but also aware that the last few years my vision has declined.
It does usually plateau out after a period of decline I’ve been told so hopefully everything will be fine ☺
I’m still waiting to see the retinal specialist for my test results.
