I too have had vision problems. I am also new to all of this and dont know much. Just my past experiences. I lost my periferal (spelling) vision and depth perception in my right eye because of spinal fluid build up in my head that damaged my optic nerves. Mention to the dr about checking you optic nerves to make sure they are not swollen. I continuously have blurred vision due to a lot of inflammation in my eyes. Also ask the dr to check for that. You are not alone we are all in this together. I have realized that when I think that I am complaining, it is actually helping someone else to see that they are not alone and vice versa. Keep us posted on what the doctor says.

August 1996 i had a Retianl Viterectomy on my left eye to remove scarring (caused by the SarcMonster), then in April 2007 Cataract surgery (left eye). both times my vision was 'saved' , restored to (almost) perfect. This past week I have had a psuedo-blind spot appear in my central vision of my (guess where !!) left eye. I do have an appointment with my eye Dr Thursday so he can have a look @ my left eye, and hopefully refer me to an opthalmomlogist (as neccessary). From what I have read online, some surgical intervention may be possible to save the vision in my left eye, but...as much as I hate to say it....I'm worried. I am wondering if anyone has any experience or ideas may be able to share ?I do not like to ask, as I know some folks have\have had issues of their own to deal with.
