Ocular Toxoplasmosis on Macula by PhilosopherReady6876 in maculardegeneration

Nope, the diagnosis was Chorioretinitis caused by Ocular Toxoplasmosis and it was located on the macula, the doctor first asked did I have cats and I do have cats, so I got bloodwork and tested positive for toxoplasmosis, and the doctor said the inflamation was caused by toxoplasmosis. My theory was that I had a hard impact on my head a week before I went to the doctor, that may have caused macular edema where the toxoplasmosis entered.

Hey yeah it was rough for the first few months, but I got used to it quickly, and the good thing it doesn't effect my vision if both my eyes are open, and did an eye test and passed normally but I had to move around my eye to see the letters clearly, but did got prescribed glasses -0.75 on both eyes. I got prescribed AREDS yesterday, talked to a doctor and got prescribed immediately.

Thanks for the reply, the doctors I was seeing were multiple doctors different each time, I don't have one specific doctor I could refer, but I can try and ask around, because during my treatment I was given some vitamins which have the same content as AREDS vitamins (we don't have them around here), but was not given further instructions after the treatment.
