Anyone With Serious Eye Problems

I feel for each of you who are suffering from sight loss!

"Touch Wood", my eyes are fine with the help of spectacles,
but I do have several friends who are losing their sight and I
feel so useless knowing that I cannot help them, I have read
up on the subject many, many times and I am still at a loss.

Have you tried "Pinhole Glasses", they are quite good as they
exercise the eyes and they do help. Ebay sell those.

UCL Hospital London, is also a University and last year they
published findings that if you stare at red light for 3 minutes
per day, it will help your eyes and in some cases reverse the
problems you are experiencing.

I also take "Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsules", they are reputed to
be good for all kinds of ailments and eyesight is one.

Below are some links that may interest you, the first is the UCL
report, the second is where people in the UK can get the red light,
torch and the third is where Americans can get the red "Flashlight",
both places have them at the proper intensity of light.

Anyone familiar with optic nerve atrophy? You wake up some morning with a dark spot in your field of vision of one of your eyes.
Not familiar with that. It sounds very difficult to cope with.
Are there any remedies at all? Is it less disturbing to patch that one eye, so you can see more normal with the other? Does it greatly interfere with doing art?
 
They have raised the idea of surgery, but then tell me that the probability of making it worse is close to 40%. Right now, the vision in my bad eye is about 20/50, and for now I am just living with that.
That wouldn't sound like good percentages to me for that, either.
I have been finding that there seem to be a lot of medical issues, that it's better to just live with, the best we can, for as long as possible.
 
Look at the Red Light/Infrared therapy for eyesight problems
especially macular degeneration.

There are some links that I put up last year, but feel free to get
google find some more recent ones, I see that the UCL people
have changed the timing from 3 minutes per day, to 3 minutes
per week and they recommend that it is done in the mornings
between 8 & 9 AM, move your eyes when looking at the light.

Look up "Photo Bio Modulation Therapy", (PBMT for short) also
get testimonials there is a lot of information on YouTube.

I have Macular Degenerate too...one eye is much worse than the other, in fact I've noticed that at night when I have to get up and walk around in a room without turning on a light that I can see out of the good eye, enough to get around but I can see nothing out of the bad eye, totally black...this only happens in a dark room...in the daytime I can see out of the bad eye but it is blurry...I have not been to Optomologist since I was told years ago...one thing it is a long drive and Covid...I will go if Covid lets up soon....just wondering if any of you that have it have noticed this night blindness too?
 
Not familiar with that. It sounds very difficult to cope with.

I can still do art at this point. The spot doesn't block my line of sight. Doc wants to reduce the eye pressure (IOP) with Latanaprost eyedrops.
Gonna start on them tonight. Reported side effects scaring the crap out of me.
