Not too much see when you're blind
13 years ago
Hey everyone, me again. Just came to give you an update and an apology.
Well first, the apology. Sorry for not being around for a while, but where I live i don't have much in terms of internet, and only now have I gotten my hands on it. I'll be doing alot of drawing from now so expect a good deal of pictures, and by that I mean don't expect anything.
Now for the update. So it turns out everyone that I seem to be in the second stages of my karatanconus. What is karatoconus? The degeneration of the structure of the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue covering the front of the eye. The shape of the cornea slowly changes from the normal round shape to a cone shape. And it seems i have less then ten years of semi functional sight until I become legally blind, and in worse case scenario, completely blind. Already my sight is the the point where I need specially trained doctors inorder to give me my prescription, and they say that the ten year estimate is the best case scenario, it is completely likely that I will be blind in less then half a decade.
But the good news, there might be a procedure that can save my eyesight that i'm currently trying to be a part of. it's still in the research stages but luckily I was able to put in my request to become a test subject. so hooray I'm now a guinea pig. They say that if all goes well i'll be able to see fine and my illness won't progess anymore. There is also the chance that the procedure will worsen my vision to a point of no return but no point in fretting over that. Well that's as much as I had to say about my life for now, i'll be sure to keep you all posted!
Muah~!
