I wear spectacles since 8 yrs old. My eye vision slowly but gradually deterioted through years and now at 40 yrs old, I still have strong myopia (> 10) and astigmatism problem with both eyes (right and left).
And I also can't see well both long and short distance since 18 months. I wear a apectacle with ultra fine progressive lens.
I recently consulted my local ophthalmologist to do routine eye tests in order to change my spectacles but the tests were not successful because my ophthalmologist told me that he cannot correct any more my eye vision because my myopia has deteriorated furthermore.
So I recently did a funduscopy (eye dilatation) with an eye doctor (under the recommendation of my ophthalmologist).
It seems that I have LATTICE at the right eye and PAVING STONE at both eyes. I did a general blood test which is normal as I have no diabete, no cholestherol etc..
The eye doctor recommend me to do a laser treatment for preventive measure to prevent retinal detachment.
By the way for anti-malaria prevention, I have been taking mefloquine pills (one a week over 6 to 8 weeks on average) during the last 4 years when I go abroad to Africa. Can that regular intake of Mefloquine can affect my eye vision ?
What do you think ?
Thank for your comments.
