Symmetrical raised areas macula

[Academicworried]

Hi there,

I am a 27 year old male living in the UK who is otherwise in good health. I noticed a blur in my right eye a few weeks ago after a particularly hectic and stressful month came to an end. The optician said that it was a macular scar and referred me to a retinal specialist- the retinal specialist took a quick look and said that it was a tiny bleed and that I'd need to go to the hospital for OCT & FA. I've done everything in my power to realise this appointment but it still hasn't been scheduled (NHS). I've been waiting since late April and in the meantime I've visited two ophthalmologists who suggested CSR. I even travelled to Ireland to see if I could be seen quicker there and I got OCT reports yesterday. The doctor saw two symmetrical raised bumps (said they weren't scars) on the macula. She didn't know what it was and her colleague didn't either. I've an appointment to see the retinal specialist in two weeks but I am living in a chronic state of anxiety - I fear that I will wake up blind. I have a small grey floater in my right eye and objects a few feet away look blurred from this eye.
Questions
(1) If this is the onset of SRNV how long to I have left?
(2) what kind of myopic dystrophies could I reasonably expect to discover at 27?
(3) my eyesight is -5 and -5.75 with slight astigmatism in left eye. If this is myopic degeneration will my intermediate myopia be slow?
(4) I vaguely remember getting a blur in my right eye two years ago that went away but left a slight decrease in vision. Have I been developing SRNV since then and does this mean imminent blindness?

Please help!

Very worried

Many thanks

Hi doctor,

You've answered a lot of queries about myopic degeneration. Would you have any thoughts on my post?

Much appreciated.

Yes - I think the FA is the main thing. Thanks for the advice.

If they are present in both eyes, you need to have some blood tests to make sure you are otherwise healthy so you might want your primary care doctor to run the usual blood tests for your general health.  I don't understand why they can't get you in sooner to be treated by a retina specialist.  I would assume you need an FA to be sure what is going on.
