Suggest Treatment For Vision Problem

Foloowing what I think were a series of three small TIA's I developed a vision problem---I see distances well, but reading small letters such as in newpsapers. recipe books, the letters seem to run together. My optometrist has no answer for this. Could this problem be solved medicially or by some sort of surgery?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having vision problem in the form of difficulty in reading and letters appearing to be running.
These are problems are usually seen in diseases of retina involving macula like macular degeneration, macular edema...
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist or preferably a retina specialist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
