I had my eyes looked at within a month, or so afterward, maybe a bit less, there was a death in the family so I didn't get it as quickly as I might have otherwise. I've seen 8 drs, or so since about sept 2020.

I saw a retina specialist as well. :)

All we have where I live is Bvs "blindness and visual services", I've called, dr called, another dr called. Nothing. I am ok. I was using a cane before i became legally blind because of when i was born i have one blind eye and this eye was much better vision around 20/60-70, \*wroded wrong\* I have hardly any right \[side\] vision on the right side of right eye. Maybe 85%, maybe more is gone \[of right sided vision of right eye\] i've walked past people and not said hi and they will call to me. I've almost been hit by cars, so i used a cane because I felt it was important just in case, so I continue to use one. I have, I believe also lost some side vision /upper/nasal/lower field vision from 67% in 2012 to 61% last check in $1. As far as I know it was the same till 2020, or 2021. So idk where the field of vision % is now. I have bumped into/almost bumped into things and I've had trouble \*not now\* in the past with thinking something was closer and bumping into it. i think i was getting used to my vision changes. :) I'm doing ok :) I have the Lord with me and i'm ok. I am mostly sad because i lost a good friend who had Retinitis pigmentosa. He told me once, "You don't always have to be brave." He passed Sat Feb 5.

I am supposed to see my regular opthalmologist. I felt like my vision was getting worse, It's hard because I have had vision go up and down the first maybe 10 months like crazy, maybe the first year. It was better in the morning and then it would get worse after. It never did that before, but when my vision began getting worse it would do that. They would ask, "are you diabetic?" and I'd say, "No." It finally seemed like it's gotten better in the last 6 mos, almost. It seems like it stays the same. i used to get up almost, or almost every morning and stand in a certain place and look at myself/hands in the mirror and see if I could count my fingers and see my face. i stopped doing that because it was driving me mad. \*TONGUE OUT\* I do it now and then, but not nearly like I used to. :)) So i am going to ask if they will do a field test because i feel like it might be worse, but whatever if it is, I'll be ok. :)

i don't think there is anything you can do.. i have just about taught myself voice over. idk how much vision i'll have in the future. :o
