Today I had my bi-annual eye exam. The ophthalmologist offered the Optomap retinal screening, which given all the other problems I have going on, I figured why not.

They were found prior to my MS diagnosis, when I lost temporarily lost colour vision in my Right Eye and I was diagnosed with Uveitis. After 3 years of investigations by Moorfields in London, to try to link the lesions to giardiasis, Crohns disease, Breast Cancer and MS, there's still no answer.

They aren't round, they're odd shapes, but the edges are quite smooth, so maybe it is something to do with MS that no-one has figured out yet!
Lesions are not found on organs however
Scleroderma is the name.
