Loss of Central Vision

Twenty Five years ago I had a macula hemorrhage to the right eye and I had laser surgery done to stop the blood vessels from bleeding in the eye.  I have lived with this with no problems. I had a re-occurrence about 7 years ago and more lasers was done.

About 5 weeks ago I had blurry vision again, checked my graph and yes I lost more vision but it was a little different, blurry, foggy and floaters appearing. Its so difficult to watch tv, or even open my eyes it's so bothersome.They to this day don't know why it happened as my health was perfect.

I went and saw my ophthalmologists who sent me to a retinal doc and so far he can't find what is going on. I had brain scan done, fluoresce tests etc and nothing is coming out of this, He again is telling me that he doesn't know why it has happened and why it hasn't improved. It said it could be neuritis, but the symptoms aren't there.

I am looking for answers or possibilities on why this is happening as daily it seems to get worse. Is there something I should be doing or having done to stop this process. Is it something I am eating, taking etc that is causing this or is the eye just failing and they don't see that?
