Thanks,

Hi @Sparklebright62 I too have poor sight. My right eye has been as good as blind since birth as it never taught itself to see so only picks up extremely little light . My left eye is not perfect. I am therefore Registered Blind and have been for many years. I attended a school for the Visually Impaired and found this to be the best education I could have had.
I hope you are well and not bumping into too much.0 -
Thank you for sharing this with us @roberttaylor570!
I hope your appointment goes okay next week @Sparklebright62.

Thanks for sharing @Sparklebright62, I hope your appointment goes well
I also bump into quite a few things, but I've found myself doing that less since I got my canes, particularly outdoors0 -

Hi to all,
I have been to the optitions today getting blurred vision and walking into doors ect I have to go back next Thursday for another scan and Oct test both eyes really red inside said I might have glucoma from being diabetic yuck.

Thanks for letting us know @Sparklebright62!
I think it's good that they're investigating further. Hopefully they'll be able to put a bit of a treatment plan together for you.0 -
Hi @Sparklebright62 I have glaucoma too but mine came on suddenly in one eye and was too late to treat so I went blind in that eye.
I am constantly monitored in my other eye and it is under control after having laser surgery and cryo surgery and using drops
Early treatment is key so please keep up with the appointments0 -
Hi @Sparklebright62, I imagine this wasn't pleasant news to receive! I hope next Thursday goes okay and please let us know if we can do anything else to help.

Hi to all,
I have been back to the optitions today she is referring me back to hospital for 2 failed field tests and other problems so she didn't say anything else about glucoma this time but I guess she will be sending me to the low vision clinic as I keep walking into doors ect and getting bruises on arms and legs
and feel right strange only seeing with one.5 eyes and blurred vision in ok eye and I keep constantly blinking also muscle spasms in eyes 2.
