raymac46 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Still have them unfortunately. Cannot drive, my balance isn't great either. At least if the issues are caused by hypertension or high blood sugar, I'm getting that stuff under control. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Sorry to hear that Ray. Do you use any of the various accessibility apps on Linux to help with the vision issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 I can see OK with an eye patch. With double vision any magnification does not help. I just need lots of light on as I have only one eye at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Slow improvement. A long way to go to be normal but I can see a bit better. Edited December 16, 2021 by raymac46 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sympathize--I've been having my own vision issues lately, although thankfully not as pronounced as yours. Improvement is positive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Improvement continues. I now have binocular vision up close, so I can use a computer or read a book without an eye patch. Still cannot watch TVor drive though as double vision at a distance persists.

raymac46 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Augh! More issues. My left eye was improving but suddenly my right eye developed the same problem. I spent 3 hours in the Ottawa hospital (during an Omicron pandemic) getting X-rays and blood tests. I am now under the care of a neuro-opthamologist who hopefully will get to the bottom of this. I need to get an MRI as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 (edited) I have my MRI scheduled for Monday the 10th so hopefully that will help get to the bottom of things. Edited January 6 by raymac46 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Ray and ebrke, I hope your vision improves. I watched my mom struggle to see for years. She voluntarily gave up driving when she realized she was hitting things - not cars but parking lot dividers. At least reading a book and being on the computer is possible. Truthfully, you don't need to watch much of tv; hearing it a lot of times is enough. Not being able to drive is a handicap when you have to depend on others to chauffeur you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 MRI went well today according to the techs. The doctor will get the report in a couple of days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
