This is what I was diagnosed with this morning at the retina specialist clinic. Basically, it's a disease where fluid leaks from the veins in your eyes and pools under/behind your retina. This causes blind spots in your vision, which is what I have been experiencing since last Friday. I currently have 20/400 vision in my right eye making me legally blind, for now. The doctor put me in observation period which will take place over the next three months. Basically, I just have to wait for my body to correct this on its own, which could take as long as three months. If it doesn't go away then I will be having lasik eye surgery sometime in October to fix this issue.
You can imagine, I had quite a breakdown in the doctor's office this morning when he gave me the news. It's not the worst thing that could happen, and I know that, but living with blindness in one eye for possibly the next three months is just not an easy thing to face. I feel like the past six months have been nothing but bad news and I am very much looking forward to having this behind me.
Please pray that the Lord not only takes this away SOON, but that I will remain positive throughout this experience. One thing's for sure, I am definitely starting to appreciate my sight much more and I no longer want to take things for granted.
Did the specialist give any ideas for what caused this in your case? Honey we are praying for you!
