My eyesight deteriorated very fast last couple years and I did not take it seriously. Recently it was harder to see things up close and my vision got slightly blurry at night. I went to an ophthalmologist recently who said my right eye is operating at 30% vision. However my left one is okay. She said it may be keratoconus and referred me to a cornea specialist. I’m not officially diagnosed yet.

Now it may be months before I can find an appointment with that specialist.

Every time I place my hand on one eye and try to see with the weaker one, I notice how bad it is. I can barely read anything, even up close to my eye.

I turned 29 yesterday, I work from home in front of a screen all day.

I’m very scared and nervous. I’m trying to remain calm and hopeful but it’s easy to fall prey to your own anxiety.

Coming here to find a community and get any support or advice possible.

Would it be okay if I cannot manage to see a specialist before 2-3 months? Is there anything else I can do to avoid this worsening? Am I going to be okay?
