A visit to my eye doctor the other day did not bring good news.
I had hoped that some of the greyness I had noticed in my good eye over recent months had been due mainly to weather conditions. Lots of cloudy days with diffused light.
When I say good eye by the way, I do not mean that the eye is very good it is just better than my left eye which now barely has any light perception. My right eye I had some useful vision to my right periphery, now that is shrinking.
I was noticing that diffused light was making my vision very foggy and I was losing most of what color vision I had.
My retinologist took a look at the eye and pronounced that there is a quite decent cataract in the right eye.
The diffusing of what vision I have is the edge of the cataract moving across my field of vision. In her opinion though there is little point in removing the cataract.
The reason for this is removing the cataract and replacing it with a new artificial lens will not help me because the field of useful vision in the eye is too small for the eye to recover any sight.
Removing the damaged lens and the cataract will make me blind, leaving the cataract will at least allow me light perception with some diffused vision rather than light perception only.
I have to admit that is a scary time. Knowing that there is little left to do in order to save my sight is a pretty tough pill to swallow. I am going to look at a second opinion from my other eye doctor over the next few weeks. Just incase there is a work around.
