I need a bit of advice on what to do next.
In October (23) I noticed a kink in my vision, when I looked at a door frame etc there would be a really really small kink in the line and then it would go back to normal.
So I went to opticians in the UK (Specsavers) and did the OCT Scan etc. They identified a really small abnormality on the scan but said they has the scan from the year before and it was the same, and to not worry and sent me away.
Now for some reason I cant explain I stopped noticing the kink for over 7 months (maybe it was always there but I didn’t notice it) Anyways last week (June (24) I noticed it again and on the Amsler chart it was in the same position as before so I thought things were getting worse so I made yet another appointment with specsavers. They again did the OCT scan and said everything is the same and again to try not to worry. When I presses as to why im seeing this kink he said “ you must just be more susceptible” than most and that’s why im seeing it.
So I went away again and now I cant stop focussing on this Kink, its really getting me down and I am grabbing the amsler chart about 50 times a day…im exhausted with worry.
I am now taking Areds2 and have been for a week, and protecting my eyes from the sun etc.
So my question is should I go see my GP and get referred to a ophthalmologist? As its my understanding that in the very early stages you shouldn’t really expect any kinks in vision, and everything online suggests that only happens in the more advance stages?
I just don’t know what to do?
I have an eye appointment in under 6 months time with specsavers, should I just wait till then and have faith in what ive been told?
Any advice would be welcome.!
