I went back to my regular eye doctor today to follow up with eye issues.
The good news: I don't have (clinical, progressive) macular degeneration!! smile emoticon
The not as good news: I have deterioration of the macula in my "good" eye. It was there this spring but is more deteriorated now, and will either get better on its own or become a macular hole (which is what led to surgery/face down time). We just need to watch it.
In other news - I have a cataract in my "surgery" eye which will eventually need to come out. In the meantime, I will have trouble with distance vision. Knowing why that is happening and how it can be resolved makes me feel SO much better!!
All in all - it was a great visit. With both eyes, there are issues - but they will either improve naturally or there will be a surgical intervention, which will ultimately improve my eyesight. That is a win all around!
Thankful for an excellent doctor who has been such a huge help to us and who always takes the time to explain things!! smile emoticon
