I have been experiencing severe vision loss since 2019. Every year, about twice a year, I lose about twenty percent of my vision. My vision loss started as a single floater and advanced to large grey spots and now complete blindness in my left eye. Can anyone at the Mayo Clinic help me?

@marionli Hello and welcome to Connect. I'm sorry about all of your vision problems and most recent complete blindness in one eye. How distressing it must be for you.
Here is a link to apply at Mayo Clinic:

Do you know why your doctors have not been able to confidently diagnose your condition? Perhaps mitigating circumstances or multiple diagnoses are occurring. I'm curious, have you been evaluated with larger teaching hospitals or medical colleges in your area?
