Myopic macular degeneration

Tweet

About two years ago I experienced a retinal bleed in my right eye. I had one Avastin shot in the eye and the experience was bad so I did not have another shot. The sight in that eye is almost totally gone. I can see shapes but cannot read anything. Just a few days ago I noticed my left eye was having some problems focusing. After a couple of days I realized I probably had a bleed in that eye. I did not like the previous doctor I had so I tried another doctor. It turns out that I have a bleed in my good eye. Needless to say, I am devastated. I almost feel my life is over. My job is computer oriented, I need to drive and I don't want to be blind. I had an Avastin shot in the eye yesterday. I liked my new doctor. I know I should not give up this soon but my whole world is centered around me being able to see. My husband helped me adjust my computer screen a little and that helped a little but the letters are still hard to see. You know you are never prepared for disasters like this. A week ago, I could never have imagined that my world would be so turned upside down. I am a little past middle age and still have a few yeaars left to work but I do not know at this point if I will be able to continue to do so because my work is computer oriented. It is good not to take your health for granted and thank God or a higher power each day that you have your sight and hearing and health. After having sight all my life, it will be a very rough road ahead if things do not get better.
