[QUOTE="Snodger, post: 330182, member: 27045"] Similar thing happened to me. I went into total meltdown. Kind people on this forum put me back together! Turns out things were nothing like as bad as I'd feared. First thing to remember is that on the whole they err on the side of caution. If they see anything new they tend to say things that sound as if they are telling you to buy a white stick and a guide dog, but actually they are just being careful. Second thing to remember is that yes, laser is much more effective than it used to be, even if you have to have it, and the fact that you don't have any vision changes yet means that even the worst case scenario is pretty hopeful, because it's been caught very early. (and maybe it's [b]not [/b]anything to worry about, just something to keep an eye on - which you are doing - so you're ok). Was it an eye doc you'd had before? I find there can be quite a difference between those who've seen a lot of eyes and those who are nervous about missing something. [/QUOTE]
