    Hiya Smiles,
    I don't know how relevant this may be to you, but I have Macular Degeneration in my left eye. When the opthalmologist takes pics of my eye it shows up as a black spot on the retina. It's basically a weeny little growth on the blood vessels on the retina, and they sometimes leak fluid/blood which looks black on the picture. The growth damages the nerves and causes a blind spot.
    If you look at a bunch of straight lines do any of them look warped? (I use MS Excel to test my eyes, lol)
    It doesn't really have a known cure at this point in time, but I have had a couple injections into my eye with the same stuff they use to treat bowel cancer (but a lot lower dosage) that seems to have stopped the growth so far
