So I’ve been doing really well, although I still think about my vision daily. I got a blind spot in my left eye picked up 6 months ago in a routine eye appointment and got sent for glaucoma screening. I saw a private consultant in feb who confirmed the blind spot, but checked my eyes and said there was no sign of glaucoma, and so thought the blind spot was due to something else (tilted discs) and not to worry. I’m due back in August for another visual field test, I guess hopefully to confirm nothing has changed and then I’ll be released. Problem is, know I know it’s there, I can’t stop myself closing my right eye every now and then and trying to notice it, which I can. It’s so so scary to see things disappear in parts of my vision and I get a massive anxiety rush burning sensation every-time. Even though he’s said it’s most likely not glaucoma, the what-if is hard to ignore when you have an actual symptom. So sick of feeling scared and in a way can’t wait for August although at the same time the thought of going makes me scared as well!
Any advice? I’m going to CBT today and strangely that actually makes me worse thinking about having to talk about it!!
