I have a rare condition called Pigment Dispersion Syndrome, my iris rubs against the lens of my eyes and causes pigment to flake off into my eyes. This has two effects, firstly the dusty deposits coat the inner surfaces of the eyes and build up over time, causing a gradual loss of sight. Secondly, the flakes clog the channels in the eyes obstructing pressure regulation and causing glaucoma.
I was 25 when diagnosed by my optician, referred to an eye hospital and have been under their care ever since. I am the only patient they have ever had with the condition, in my first visits the specialist was getting his colleagues in the USA and bringing every student he could find to come and take a look!
I was pretty freaked out at first, now I have just learnt to live with it.
Anybody else have eye issues?
