    • Close Blindness & Visual Impairment
      Type: Partially Sighted

      I was diagnosed this last year with retinitis pigmentosa after many years of struggling with driving (poor perephreal vision) and difficulty in the dark. I could no longer see clearly with my prescription glasses and after numerous attempts to correct, I was sent for specific testing only to find that neither of my retinas is functional. Now I plan to retrain once I am cleared for disability and move forward.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I have begun more cardio on a daily basis to increase the blood flow and oxygen to my eyes. Eyes are very sensitive to lack of oxygen. I do feel it helps.
