Hi there. Just wanted to touch base with you and ask how you cope with these visual problems - emotionally. Mine are really getting me down because I see them all the time - just to the right of my central vision. Can you email me? ***@****
Melinda,
I actually just saw you has asked me this back in may, but I never got around to answering (different thread). The list of symptoms is quite long, but the "top" two are extreme photosensitivity, and a degenerating light perception (i keep needing more lights to see, and they get dimmer). I also have a lot of floaters and pretty poor night vision. Besides this, the very common glare problem, halos, startbursts. It has not affected my visual aquity, so I can read fine print just fine. I have no official dignosis, but I was tested positive for antibodies against the retina, thus most likely Autoimmune Retinopathy (which fits the picture).. Thomas
Hi Melinda,
Im extremely sorry.This is the first time I have joined Medhelp. I didnt know that there was a limit to the number of posts you could inlcude in the forum. I assumed it to be like other forums where you keep on posting the same message to maintain its visibilty.
Wont happen again.
Cheers!
