Call me – My New Phone.

I’ve got myself a bigger screened phone.

It’s so big I feel like shouting “Hello” at it.

Had my old phone some years now and it’s stopped updating some apps on it.

It just genuinely hard work ☺.

Send people voice messages. Then I get “Can’t hear you”… “Can hear you now”

Endless checking they have gone through.

This one I have to say is a great improvement. One of those ideas I should have made reality a long time ago.

Also, being a bigger screen will help me use it alot more comfortably.

I’ve stuck with a Samsung as I know what I’m doing with it. It’s an A12.

So if you’re struggling with a phone that you cannot use properly, either through it generally just being old or have visual problems. If you can at the moment, make your life easier. I have.

Booked an eye test

Booked my eye test today.

Important to keep my sight going and eek out any help or improvement I can.
How I see it is… I’ve aways had this condition, even when I was growing inside my Mother, so I’m not mad at my eyes. They haven’t let me down. If anything they have let me do things and experience life independently for alot longer than most.
Alot of people with this condition don’t have that luxury. It shows itself to them when they are kids, so having later onset macular dystrophy is remarkable.
It isn’t anything I’ve done. Won’t have done anything different from those people who have difficulties from a very early age. Just luck of the draw I guess.
Will be interesting to see if the deterioration I know is there, means a different prescription. Whilst the ophthalmologist can detect the changes from me reading the Snellen chart, what can’t be considered by them is the tiny blind spot that makes C into O, E into an F etc.
All depends on where the spot has shifted. Whether I’m stressed, tired, been reading or too much light in my eyes.
I’m sure if I went to have an eye test everyday. There would be a different result from one day to the other.
There will be a time when the grey/black blob and the blindspots will overtake my current situation. But as for now, my good old eyes are hanging on in there… sort of ☺
