Eye health changes
Hi all, wondering if anyone else has experienced deterioration or changes in eye health? I’ve recently been diagnosed with early macular degeneration and a slight worsening of pre-existing glaucoma...

Hi Tri
Happy Birthday for this weekend xx. I hope you can go out & celebrate appropriately and that you are not currently affected by the bushfires in Vic 😪
I believe my eyes have definitely deteriorated (more than just normal 'aging') since starting (and finishing) AIs. I've been told that I have very minor cataracts that should not be affecting my sight yet.
For 4-5 years now, I've been complaining to my Optometrist on my yearly check ups, that they are dry and have way more 'floaters' than ever before - and almost an opaque 'curtain' that affects my sight ... yet they check them & say they are NOT dry, there are no obvious floaters - and nothing they can attribute the 'curtain' to! grrr
I find I have to do very deliberate 'squinting' eye blinks, to 'rehydrate them' numerous times a day! It must look funny to anyone looking at me, as I just do it 'as needed' .... they may think that I have a 'tic'!
My husband had Wet Macular & needed injections into his eyes every 3 months. Fingers crossed I don't ever need that!!
take care, stay well xx
Thank you arpie for the lovely advance birthday greetings :-) we’re very lucky to have been out of the fire districts this time - heart goes out to all folks affected by fire and flooding.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the eyes, the blinking made me laugh but I think it’s the recommended thing to do! Wet macular treatment sounds pretty tough, although I’ve heard it can be very effective for some people. My type is “dry”. Thanks as always for your care and support. ❤️Have a nice birthday weekend Tri 🎂- Will tag Christina_BCNA In this re the content suggestion re eye issues following treatment.
