Eye not focusing properly- almost blurry when reading

[willous1]

Hi all, I'm really trying so hard and doing well tbh, especially this time of you when usually I feel very low. All day today I have had quite tired eyes, bit blurry at times and take time to adjust..I had a drink last night and I am trying not to Google but loads go through my head. I'm worried my poor diet lately has caused issues, I've had a poorer diet as it's helped me through how I've been. I'm making better choices now and want to now lose some weight. I had bloods two months ago and like to think that as nothing was picked up, nothing on there would cause eye issues. Whenever I have any symptoms of the eyes I panic, they are the most important thing.

My wife has real eye issues. Her vision was always bad since her younger years. Last year in January, she began to have visual anomalies and migraines. Her vision had deteriorated several points since the year before. Our optometrist saw some irregularities and she was fast tracked and referred to a retina specialist. We went to the specialist in March of last year and they discovered the retina was torn in her left eye. She had retina surgery last April and we were scheduled to a cataract specialist as she had them too. She had cataract surgery in November, both eyes within a week.

We're going on two months out from surgery, and while there are some improvements, she has essentially lost her vision in her left eye. The damage to the retina, while it was repaired and healed, was too extensive and sadly the outlook for any significant improvement is not positive. As you could imagine, the reality of the current situation is not great. She won't be able to drive and the challenges her limited vision presents will be and is challenging both professionally and personally. We'll know more in the next month or two but it certainly has been a challenge.

Its sad to see you continuing to allow the dragon control your life I truly hope to see that turn around and see you become a positive and healing force on this forum.

I'm so sorry mate, that is awful and I feel incredibly selfish. It must be so so hard going through what she is, for her and for you. I pray the next couple of months bring some kind of positive news. You are such a kind, wonderful person...not being dramatic when I say you have helped me so much this last 12ish years, and I'm just a stranger to you. I'm going to keep fighting this demon.

I had this last year and more recently. I was convinced my left eye was MUCH worse than my right eye, and it was worsening. Went for an eye test, turns out my vision was still almost perfect. My left eye is weaker however not close to needing glasses. I think my anxiety and hyper focussing was making me notice it much more than what it needs to be.
