...i dont want to interfere but happened to notice ... jaja .. and yes Rosemary a referral to an Ophthalmologist (a good one).... am surprised a field of vision test wasnt done.... not an expert but diagnozed with narrow angle glaucoma 2018 by Specialist but not by optometrist who I saw once a year! ... not sure how long I had it prior .... and "field of vision" test, they say, ought to be done with "everyone" at yearly eye exams.... as it is a simple test takes ten minutes.... which can be referred to once a year to determine if field of vision is getting narrower. may I say that just from my own experience, even with very good vision (just had glasses for driving and reading) there could be other things affecting eyes - such as medications; environment, even allergic to material eyeglasses are made from. hope am not intruding on conversation, but to me every little bit of information helps... best of luck jaja.

I had a wonderful and thorough examination today, I even told my ophthalmologist that I was going to share it on Connect! He half nodded in approval and disbelief! I had my questions written so I wouldn't forget anything. This doctor is a patient oriented doctor, and his primary goal is to treat his patients. We need more like him! I walked out of the office with a headful of understanding of my current vision situation and a prescription for my left lens only After his thorough eye examination, I learned that my retina occlusion was stable and no signs of any more damage. I brought home some beautiful images of the inside of my eye, and will return next week for an updated visual field test that he feels is a good thing for me right now.
Hopefully in 10-14 days I will see more clearly!
Lacy, keep the information coming!
