    I had a retinal detachment with multiple retinal tears. It took 3 surgeries to fix it. I now have wavy central vision, flashes of light and no peripheral vision.

    I just recently learned I have two genetic variants for the two main causes of macular degeneration which puts me at an increased risk for it. So that’s cool, especially because I have high myopia at -6.25(right eye) and -6.50(left eye) respectively in my eyes which also puts me at an increased risk for rental tears and detachments 🙃

    Interesting video. A question though that I didn't find answered. Since there is deterioration mostly it seems in the central part of the eyesight, if you look to the left or right, will that be clear? For example, you could read a letter if held in front of you, but if it is held to the left far enough (without moving your head) can you read it instead? Or does the center blind-space "follow" your gaze and is always in the center wherever you look? I am looking into technical ways to make assistance beyond magnifiers and knowing this would be helpful before I start.

      Rob Milliken it affects the macular, so central vision. Peripheral vision is unaffected, but we cannot focus with peripheral vision. As soon as we try to move the eye to focus, the macular scars blocks the vision. It's very frustrating 😤

      @@RubiksBotES Thank you. I originally asked this about 3 yrs ago at the time I am writing this. Maybe with your description it would help; I am still unsure. I have since created an Android app that makes a floating "picture in picture" of your surroundings. Sorry I forgot to update here. It requires an Android smart phone and a special headset that goes over your eyes. The picture can be configured larger/smaller/magnified and moved (left, up, down, right) until the best view is found. It uses voice recognition for the most part so no eye sight or touch is necessary to configure. Maybe it'll help someone - the app itself is free.

    I think I have it in my left eye because all I see is shadows. I see ok in right eye, but I have astigmatism , I had it in my left eye in 2018 until I got a floater one morning in my left eye and it was a black spot that moved around when I looked around in the room. I was 65. When I moved to a different place tree limbs looked bent. I took the grid test and some of the lines looked bent out of shape. I had my glasses changed but when look at the chart with my left eye it had dark shadow around the top row. I could read the line that was all. I couldn't see the second line. The dr. Didn't go any further. He claimed I had untreated glaucoma. I knew better. He wanted to Lasic surgery. I said not right now I just wanted my glasses changed.
    It helped for while, but now all I see is dark shadows in my left. It tries to clear up somestimes. My side vision on left eye is way off. 👤 kind of shadowy , like that. I see mostly with my right eye. I take vision pills. I don't see that much improvement.😞
