I am not blind, nor I am technically 'low vision', although I find myself benefitting from accessibility features, greatly, for those with 'low vision'. That being said, I do have ROP, as a result of premature birth. Was warned about the possibility of detached retinas in my early 30s, along with the warning signs, and after much denial of what was happening, I recognized the signs and discovered I needed laser retinal surgery. This happened four years ago. Meanwhile, my retinas are holding in place, but I am developing cataracts and a year ago, I was told I have macular puckers, which are impacting my central vision (I am in my early 40s). I noticed the distortion before I was told.

Because of an overwhelming and hectic work schedule, I have put off my appointments. Lately, when I wake up in the mornings, my vision is foggy and distorted. The easiest way to describe it is something I remember from childhood. Have you ever sat with your hands pressed over your eyes and then open them...and the light is pulsating and flickering? It is almost like seeing through a fog? It is similar, to me, of an ocular migraine...but it lasts much longer and affects both eyes.

Lately, it is happening more often than not. It was so bad today, that I had my husband drive me to work and had a driver transport me to complete needed tasks for work. I am scared.

I just want to know, besides obviously making an eye appointment, if anyone has experienced this or can explain what it means.

Thank you in advance.
