Hi, just wondered if anyone else has had something similar to hopefully put my mind at rest.
I’m 57, very myopic. I had retinal detachments in both eyes 27 years ago and my eyesight has been good, considering.
At Christmas I had a couple of bangs on the head. The first one was me walking along a pavement reading my phone and I whacked my head into a metal post. I had a very sore little bump for about a week. Only a couple days later I banged the top of my head on the garage door. That hurt.... and just a few days afterwards I noticed a distortion in my vision in my right - weakest - eye. The amsler grid confirmed this. I went to see an eye doctor straight away. He dilated me and checked for retinal detachment. He said I had a small bleed on the retina which was the reason for my visual distortion. I can actually see in certain light a little round spot in the place where I get the distortion. The doctor was abrupt and wouldn’t answer any questions. I’ve therefore not much in the way of trust in him. He said I’d likely had a pvd. I wondered if it could be the head traumas ? He wanted to wait and watch and call me back for another appointment in 4-6 weeks.
After nearly 3 weeks I’m not seeing any improvement in my sight, the distortion is very much still there. The amsler grid shows a circular brownish blob in the area of my distortion. Is this macular degeneration? I’m terrified. Can anyone help or advise ?
