This is all new to me. I'm a 50 yr old woman who was diagnosed with OCA in September. I started having light sensitivity issues, night blindness and huge floaters about 5 years ago. Regular eye doc sent me to a retina specialist and I was diagnosed with sectoral Retinitis Pigmentosa. After a horrendous experience at the New England Eye and Ear Center at Tufts in Boston, I switched to Mass Eye and Ear. (Best thing I ever did!) Turns out I was misdiagnosed and I actually have Retinal Dystrophy and OCA. OCA diagnosis came as a complete shock as I'm dark brunette with blue eyes.
Juggling light sensitivity is super challenging. Does anyone know if there are lenses that will darken in artificial as well as natural light? Ideally, I'd like lenses that start off tinted orange (to cut the glare) but will darken to black.
Any suggestions or ideas are welcome! Thanks!
