Hi everybody,
I have been diagnosed as having astymatism in my left eye: my optician said I have no health issues beyond this and I should wear my new glasses for reading, close work and driving.
What's freaking me out a bit (a lot) is that I definitely also evidently need them when walking and driving! He didn't mention this and I'm questioning whether he's missed something.
Completely shattered my confidence, whilst also antangonising my health anxiety/obsessive tendancies. I really can't get to grip with this new onset of vision trouble.
I felt like my left eye was less dominant than my right for 18 months or so, but it felt like it finally 'gave up' 6 weeks ago. I've been unable to accept what the professionals have told me since (doctor waved it away and said the optician would have thoroughly checked and if anything beyond an eye issue there would have been red flags.
Can anybody relate or help me with some advice?
