i think people are doing good for being somehow paranoid about doing anything with their eyes, it's vision the most important sense in human beings, without that, you are dead, plain and simple(sounds harsh, but I don't see the point in living if you can't see anything at all)

my advice for anyone is to search as much as you can and definitely don't rush into conclusions just because you read something online, someone mentioned a paper? find it, read it, understand it.

I'm doing the same actually, I have a feeling that my condition will become worse, so when that happens I will be able to say "that's it, I'm going for FOV"

t84a.fazerowners, my doctors told me the same thing, don't listen to anything online, and to tell you the truth, they are correct.

if you search for ANYTHING, and I mean it, ANYTHING, you will find out that there is always something bad associated with it.

just try yourself and see, that's why I stopped searching anything that is related to medicine on google, I prefer legit sites where papers are being published, and I'm now considering becoming a subscriber or something, because that's where all the evidence really is, not on google, not in forums.

forums are good for discussions. If someone finds something new you can search more by yourself, that's why I love them :P
