I have WG which has affected the optic nerve in both eyes. I have difficulty seeing & reading due to blind spots & often trip over.

Steps & slopes are a problem & I often bump into furniture & doorways as I don't seem to be able to judge distance to well. At my last three appointments my eyes have been stable, I'm beginning to doubt they will improve any more.
