[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 1625013, member: 90156"] Definitely don't make assumptions or try and convince yourself of anything.....best to get to your local ophthalmology department and get an examination..... I have had retinopathy for a few years now and now maculopathy.....currently there hasn't been any significant effect on my vision and no treatment is required....you can go through your whole life with background retinopathy and never have an effect to the vision or the need for treatment..... Try not to worry though, getting seen regularly is the key to keeping sight and what I feel is more important in the short term, peace of mind.....as the waiting around and not knowing whats happening can really eat away at you and manifest symptoms that aren't really there..
