Discussion anyone with eye damage?

[welcome]

For the past 8 years I've been online schooled and virtually every hour of my being at home has been at my computer or on some electronic. Now I have awful eyesight and can barely see 3 feet in front of me clearly anymore. Life looks more dull (which I hadn't realized until about a year ago when I got glasses for the first time) and to see anything clearly I need a bright light shining on it. I was wondering if there is anyone else like this.

Are you still young? If not, it sounds like cataract.

Not sure your age or country, but you might be able to get accommodations or medical support for this.

Im 28 currently, my whole life i've had no vision in my right eye and tritanopia color blindness in my left eye. Life without sight is one of my biggest fears, and I've notriced lately my sight is starting to get worse in my left eye.

I am terrified.

I'm struggling with something similar but besides eyedrops and adjusting my settings, and eye resting breaks I dont know what to do about it. Probably eye support threads on reddit but that's just more reading for me. I recently experienced floaters and that scared me. Should make an eye appointment but I don't want bads.

Im 22, when i was younger i was bullied a lot and was shot in my left eye with a pellet gun causing permanent blindness in that eye.

Definitely go see a doctor your eyes are very important and sensitive

I don't know what the exact cause is, doctors say my eyes are fine as in no illness, but they do get worse every year. It makes me feel like shit sometimes, I miss being able to just go out without glasses.

Legally blind since birth. No amount of prescription can fix my vision. The best I have ever seen anything is 20/60 and my vision is slowly getting worse as I age.

Thanks for the tag.

Yeah, I have a complex visual impairment that does not have a singular cure unfortunately.

I experience a low vision haze and intermittent, severe horizontal double vision daily that only goes away if I close one eye or wear a my special set-up that has a patch.

The misalignment started in February 2024 but got much worse in May 2024.

I will attach my diagnoses below from a second neuro-ophthalmolgist and the disability letter he made.

I hope your condition get better, personally I'm going for disability benefits since I experience little to no improvement.
