This is my first post here, I'm a 40 year old male and have being having visual problems for over 10 years but with no real diagnoses.
I can manage with the sight I've got but feel it's constantly detiorating and I'm scared of going blind. I have a blind spot in my vision slightly to right of centre which causes me to read slowly as I can't see the next word. Also straight lines look broken and sometimes lines of text go wavey.
The eye clinic can't find a problem but I know it's not right, they have put it down to my heart murmur causing low blood pressure and also the fact I get migraines with blank spot but that lasts an hour and this blank spot never goes.
My Grandfather has glaucoma which is what I feared but my optician says eye pressure and field are OK.
I'm pretty worried about this now so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Richie.

Have you ever been told that you have a macular condition?
May I suggest that if you are not happy with your diagnosis, that you ask your GP to refer you to another hospital eye unit for a second opinion.
Alternatively, if you would like to discuss in more depth, may I suggest that you call our society helpline on 0300 30 30 111 (9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday).
