I've had it since I was 10 and I'm 54 now. Last year I lost my vision in my left eye. And only have 32% vision in my right eye. And I notice each day slowly drifting away.

That sounds incredibly difficult, and it's completely understandable to feel worried about the vision you have left.

That sounds incredibly difficult, and it's completely understandable to feel worried about the vision you have left. While this community focuses specifically on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the vision concerns you're describing — particularly the gradual loss — are something an eye specialist needs to evaluate closely and urgently.

The most important step right now is to see a retina specialist as soon as possible, especially given that you're noticing daily changes. Sudden or progressive vision changes always warrant prompt medical attention.
