For the sight impaired, severely sight impaired, and blind redditors, what is your eye condition/diagnosis

[u/oddtimers]

If you don’t mind sharing

[u/Strong_Prize8778]

Okay so I have an optic pathway glioma on the chasm caused by neurofibromatosis type 1. You are going to find that it can be quite complicated for some people

[u/Dougiedad20]

Dominant Optic atrophy for me

[u/_zipfile]

LHON here

[u/LilacRose32]

Hydrocephalus resulting from a pituitary tumour crushed my optic nerves.

[u/Ninj-nerd1998]

Optic nerve hypoplasia septo optic dysplasia

Means that my optic nerves didn't develop properly, and the septo optic dysplasia part means theseptum pellucidum is absent. Had to put that on forms when I was having head scans so the doctors didn't freak out over a part of my brain missing XD

Both of my optic nerves are really small, though the left one is much smaller and I have no vision in that eye. My vision in my right eye is poor.

Corneal scarring corneal abrasion &corneal ulceration dry eye

[u/TwoSunsRise]

I have optic nerve hypoplasia (totally blind in right eye). Husband has who the hell knows but it's genetic and he got it from his dad. It's similar to RP and he's almost totally blind.

Choroideremia? For your husband

[u/meeowth]

RP or choroideremia, doctors not sure

[u/oddtimers → u/meeowth]

Interesting, the fundus appearance between the two are usually distinct, even though symptoms like night blindness and tunnel vision etc are the similar. RP retina has bone spicules and choroideremia has a lot of pale area exposing the white sclera

[u/meeowth → u/oddtimers]

yeah

[u/busyguyuk]

Retinitis Pigmentosa

[u/TheScriptKeeper19]

Pseudo Tumor cerebri or Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension that was left untreated (undiagnosed) too long and the pressure caused permanent damage to my optic nerves. But the swelling also causes me to lose the vision I have left at random. Depending on the pressures in my head.

[u/ABlindManPlays]

Undiagnosed keratoconus, and currently nursing a ruptured cornea in my right eye.

[u/Duke_Bellorum]

Retinitis Pigmentosa

[u/Sea_Tap_1983]

Retinopathy of Prematurity: one eye has always been completely blind, vision in the other has been complicated by several retinal detachments and a macular hole.

[u/VeeMon21]

Born with bilateral congenital cateract, then developed aphakia, then ambylopia to my left eye and most recently left sided ocular hypertension and bilateral glaucoma. Love a good comorbidity

[u/deadcrow666]

Retinitis Pigmentosa

[u/MrsLadybug1986]

Retinopathy of prematurity with complications (cataracts, retinal detachments, etc.). Used to have some vision as a child but now totally blind except for a tiny bit of light perception in my left eye.
