Hi I have been inactive for a few months. This blindness fear totally overwhelmed me to the point I was having suicidal thoughts and needed crisis team intervention. Specsavers have refused to see me so I have resorted to seeing other optometrists as well as being under the care of a opthamologist. I must have spent hundreds on eye tests sometimes going for 2 or more a week. I have had all sorts of tests. I have been diagnosed with dry eye syndrome and blepharitis. My OCD behaviours are just out of control, I need to test my vision daily and this usually involves making sure I can see a number plate from the required distance. My doc seems to think my blurred vision is being caused by my unstable tear film but obviously I'm not convinced and I'm petrified I'm going to lose my sight. I have worn glasses for over 20 years but have also recently noticed that I can not see without them very well at all. I used to be able to have comfortable vision and only really wore them for that extra sharpness. No one has really explained that to me, apart from being caused by aging eyes (I'm only 23). I am also suffering from terrible ghosting at night (reinforces my keratoconus fears). I have been told it's because of my astigmatism but have never had any problems before.
Just a lot if unanswered questions and I can't cope. Hope everyone else is doing ok.
