Sorry to hear this.
Reminds me of a story several years ago where the Optician thought I had an issue on my retina (something like pigment leaking or whatever), and I had to go for tests at moorfields eye hospital. (Thankfully it turned out not to be case.)
Said tests required them to put drops in my eye that made my pupils dilate to the size of Jupiter… on the sunniest day of the year… walking from the hospital to the tube I was more or less functionally blind because it was agony to open my eyes even a little… and I was wearing sunglasses!! Luckily there is a green line on the pavement taking you directly between hospital and tube so I managed to follow that by every few metres looking straight down and putting y hands either side of my face.
All the best mate and really hope it ends being a misdiagnosis!

Had all the eye photos you could imagine taken last Thursday. Call about the results today was sort of good news bad news haha. I might have macular degeneration or I might have macular edema. Got to go get an INJECTION INTO MY EYE to see if that helps. How exciting...

Eye injections sound... annoying, to say the least. But much like everyone, hoping for the very best mate. You're gonna kick its ass!

I would be shitting in my pants. I just realized I might have Ommetaphobia. Would you be under anesthesia completely or just eye region?

Just local anesthetic. So it's numbing drops, dilating drops then needle. Hanging.

This sounds truly grim.
Stay strong my friend, and thank you for sharing your story. I'd love to say a problem shared is a problem halved, but reading that leaflet again, I don't think I can offer much to help!
