I don’t have my images, but my eye doctor does a retina scan (it’s a huge round thing that I look in until I see a red circle. I was told it’s a 3D image of my eye). Anyway, my doctor said the vessels are ‘squiggly’ and I have a freckle on the back of the eye. We’ve been watching the freckle for about 3-4 years now and it hasn’t changed. She thought I maybe had high blood pressure or blood sugar issues because of the vessels, but my BP is fine (and glucose levels are fine ‘usually’). I’m now wondering if it’s from external communicating hydrocelphus? My vision seems to change about every 8-10 weeks. However, I go to her and my prescription stays the same for the most part. I have an astigmatism that comes & goes. She also diagnosed me with convergence insufficiency, which responds a little with eye therapy. She suspects a central disorder…

Just bought Part 2 and will get the rest when I get home tonight.

You may want to show your eye doc my poster presentation from ISNVD about the fundus study for EDS and MS. You can find it by scrolling down a bit under the handout section of the website. I hope that helps! 🙂 Diana

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
