It's been 5 years since I talked about my eyesight here. I wanted to let everyone know what's been going on with my eyes lately. For those who don't know I have an eye disease known as Retinitis Pigmentosa, which causes the cells of my retina to fail over time, potentially making me go completely blind.

Yes, my vision has gotten worse over the last five years, and just these past couple months, I've noticed some big decrease in my vision. I actually now have blind spots in my eyes... Like there is no vision there at all. My left eye is the worst one. I have about half my vision in my left eye. The blind area is creeping its way towards the center of my eye. My right eye is about the same, but not as bad. I've noticed these blind areas for a couple years now, but they weren't as bad as they are now.

Five years ago I mentioned how I noticed a decrease in my vision but man, I wish I had the vision of even back then compared to now...

I am actually terrified. I'm scared, depressed, and helpless. I'm potentially going to lose a big part of my life. Drawing is the only thing I was ever good at and something that makes me happy. I've cried over this a few times now... This is going to be life changing for me.

Drawing is becoming more difficult. I'm still trying my best though. I really don't want to give that up. Reading is also becoming harder. Words get split or doubled in the middle of a word, (for example I will see "wowordrd" instead of "word" or I'll see 1000, instead of 100.) that really messes with me. I can't really enjoy video games anymore, I can't enjoy shows or a movies. But I at least can still enjoy music and listening to people talk.

Yes, it's been pretty rough for me. All I can do is still hope for the best. I'm waiting to see a specialist in hopes they can give me some insight or possible gene therapy treatments.

I know there's not much anyone can do about this here, I just wanted to let everyone know what's been going on. Everyone has been super supportive and I really appreciate you all. Thank you all for reading.
