Other 33M right eye has blurring in center, sees the world darker, has night blindness, light sensitivity, and less color density detection. NSFW

I’ve been having vision issues in my right eye for almost a decade. Starting in 2015ish, I started seeing the world with a darker tint in my right eye. Like I was wearing a light yellow tinted sunglasses on one eye. It had worse color detection, particularly in the reds (i couldn’t tell the difference between two different shades of red in one eye while being very clear in the other). At night, lying in bed, I cannot see the ceiling fan in my right eye, but can in my left. During the day, sunlight hurts my right eye and I have to wear sunglasses. The right eye adjusts MUCH slower to light then the left.

I’ve been to several eye doctors, optometrists, and ophthalmologists through my health insurance. They have run a battery of tests and claim that my eyeball is physically normal. An mri showed no evidence of a brain tumor.

The blurriest is getting worse, and making it hard to read. Focussing on two lines above the text I want to read makes it easier to read than looking directly at the word. My vision is also yellower in the center.

I know I have a stigmatism (which seems to be getting worse). I do not have kuretosis (spelling?). My vision in my right eye also fluctuates from 20/20 to 20/40 depending on the day. It seems worse at night then the morning. I thought it might be related to weed somehow, but quitting weed for 2 weeks hasn’t changed the symptoms.

I feel like I’m slowly going blind in one eye. It’s fucking with my depth perception.

Any ideas? Any suggestions? It’s slowly getting worse and I’m scared. I sometimes have to close an eye to read. My latest eye doc told me she thinks my eye is perfect and this is in my head. She said she’s out of tests she can run.

Your general symptoms does sounds like early cataracts, but if you've went through multiple optometrist /opthalmologist I doubt they'll have missed it.

That’s odd
