Central retinal artery occlusion

Hi Wendy
I have a long history of eye problems starting with caratacts at age 37, then detachments in both eyes, and then the glaucoma set in which I've now been fighting for over 30 years. My left eye has no central vision, just a little periferal. My right eye is hanging on with about 20/40 vision but I've lost about 50% of field and I need a lot of light to read or see well. Glare bothers me a log and I'm on 3 eye drops: pilocarpine, cosopt, and rocklatan. My suggestion is to go visit one of the top eye research centers in the US such as Bascom Palmer or Wills. I have been to Bascom several times and they have been very helpful with diagnosis and refereals to great doctors. My current optimologist did a research stent at Bascom. You don't have to have a referal, you can just sign up. Have you tried one?

Thank you so much for telling me about these other places. So tired of fighting for my eyesight as you probably are. Are these eye drops helping and with what. ( I will look them up) Like you my “good” eye is 20/ 40 with severe astigmatism and developing glaucoma. My other one , I see light and distorted images. So scared what is next and none of the retinal specialists have helped or opthamologists told me exactly what happened to my bad eye. They mock me when I ask questions. I can’t thank you enough for responding and giving me options. Keep in touch. Wendy
