Grey Spots in Both Eyes

[BHARATESQ]

About two years ago, I noticed a grey spot in my right eye when blinking. When I would be reading, letters where that spot were would be kind of obscured or garbled. The ophthalmologist didn't believe me, and did an OCT. She said there was "something there," but she didn't know what it was and it "wasn't serious." She sent me on my way. It didn't bother me that much because of where the spot was. It often was not that noticeable. Yesterday, the same thing appeared in my left eye in a more central location. When I read a sentence with only my left eye, and scan through it, the word I just read kind of disappears when I read the next one. I'm terrified that this means I have macular degeneration or something similar. I'm 29.

Everything would be speculation but a spot that doesn't move and blocks out some letters when read usually indicates pathology in the macula. That's about all I can say

What could it be? Might it be treatable?

This is not normal and you need to either return to the ophthalmologist you saw for a repeat OCT and exam on both eyes because of the new symptom or see another ophthalmologist if you wish to switch Eye MDs.
