Sorry to all my friends that I have met on this forum over the years, but my eyesight has taken a turn for the worse. The visual acuity in my left eye has been very poor for quite na while now. Unfortunately my right eye has become active again. Overnight one night last week I lost most of the ability to read even with magnifying glasses. Sorry if there are typos in the post but I am tyoing by touch as I can only see one letter at a time. I will retain my membership and read a few posts every now and then, but it takes klonger and klonger to read even a short post now. Thank you all for the avice and help you have given me. I just hope I have been able to give some of that back to others that have come looking for answers. I will still be around but rather quiete to what I usually am.

I’m sorry to read this OP. I know I have asked before, about software that you can use to read to you and you to dictate to, apologies I cannot remember the reply. Are you due to have another injection soon?

Sorry to hear that the eye sight has gotten so much worse, OP, although I figured that must have been the case due to the lack of posts. I can't start to imagine what you must be experiencing, but wishing you all the best anyway.

I'm sorry to read that things have got worse for you Colin. Is there software for reading the forum posts out to you? Sorry if that is a silly suggestion.

I am sorry to hear this OP, We will miss your posts on the forum, especially your humour.
Maybe in the future, your vision will allow you to become more active again.

Thank you fir yu good wishes. Thank you @jelly bean and stevex for the larde text, which I can see and read some what easier than normal type. Howver it is like trying to read when looking at so,ething at the bottm of a pyddle with rings all around it. Thank you ffiscool. I have recently had an injection in my right eye which had been stable for nearly two years.. Howver it went active again and I immediately lost the ability to see finer detail in that eye. The left one has been very por for quite some time. I tried various software for reading and dictatig. It was very frustrating to get either to play well at all. stevex. All that will cure this is an eyeball transplant. Thanks for the ideas though.

Thank you sweetpea. They do keep trying these miracle cures, but unfortunarley the condition seems to win. I can still see but not good enough to read and do other work that needs the central vision. Thank you for the thoughts.
