my left eye as in sight is getting darker
i,m worried
saw gp and eye test and was told not to worry
Where was the eye test done, Ally, and who exactly told you not to worry? And can you see as well with your left eye, and it's just a bit darker or is the darkness causing you to see less well?
Sorry Ally, but you know I always have a million questions!

Had it just come on then I would have suggested you got a referral over to the Ophthalmology Clinic at your local hospital, however if you've always had problems with your sight and your HCP's are aware of this then it probably is best not to worry.
I read that, but it didn't answer the questions I asked. Her GP could have asked her to read the magic chart, and been happy she could read the 4 inch letters.
Ally's darker vision could be like wearing shades. When I wear my shades I can see just as well as with my normal glasses, but everything is darker due to the lense coating.
I do try to read posts RRB.

had my retinal sreening in july. it showed slight damageThanks Ally. Have you had your diabetic eye screening recently? I know you haven't had your feet done in a while, but can't recall about your eyes.
it started happening about 12 months agoHad it just come on then I would have suggested you got a referral over to the Ophthalmology Clinic at your local hospital, however if you've always had problems with your sight and your HCP's are aware of this then it probably is best not to worry.
they just said see how it goes. i don,t want to go blindI can understand why Ally would be concerned, as a negative change, in an already weak eye ("....over the past year, everything seems dark...." ), would be scary. I know it would scare me.
@ally1 - When they told you not to worry, did they give you any explanation as to why your vision is darker?
they just said see how it goes. i don,t want to go blind
yes mentioned it and they said see my gpI think your Doctor telling you not to worry is all very well for him. I completely understand you not wanting to go blind.
Is the darkness you describe progressing, or is it staying the same for now? Did you mention the darkness at your retinal screening appointment?
yes mentioned it and they said see my gp
