My Left Eyesight Is Getting Worse - Help!

[excommunicado]

I'm concerned about my left eyesight, which has been getting worse over the past year. I've visited an optometrist, but they were unable to find any obvious issues that could explain my vision loss. I've tried to make some lifestyle changes, but I haven't noticed any improvements. I'm feeling really frustrated and anxious about my situation, and I'm hoping to hear from others who may have gone through something similar. Have any of you experienced a similar loss of eyesight? What helped you cope with it? Are there any treatments or remedies that you've found to be effective?

Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

An optometrist is not a physician. You need to see a highly respected Eye MD ophthalmologist. You need a complete medical eye exam with glasses testing, dilation of pupil,  a test called Macular and NFL OCT.  You may need a corneal topography. That group of tests should disclose about 98% of the causes of problems like yours. TAKE ACTION, GET THE APPOINTMENT SET UP. This could be as simple as needing glasses or as complicated was a disease of the macula or optic nerve.
