Hi wahba1800, my grandmother has a similar condition to the one you described. We were also thinking about visiting the Barraquer Clinic. I'd like to know about your experience there.

Thanks

I forget where you are from, but i am extremely fond of my Baptist Eye Center Little Rock, Ark.  After 6 eye sugeries, my Dr.'s manage to get me back to 20/20 in both my eyes[with glasses].
They are fantastic Dr.'s. my Retinal specialist & associates are on 2nd floor.
I pray he best for you & your dad.

If you live in/near a large metropolitan area, you can probably find a retinal surgeon with a special interest in myopic/macular degeneration who is listed in the Castle-Connolly directory of "best doctors."  (Try googling; there is a small fee for using this service.)  If you have the financial means and your insurance permits it, it might be worth doing a little travel.  I've been very satisfied with the Castle-Connolly doctors whom I've seen, although many excellent doctos are not listed.  If this is not possible, then see the senior staff member (not a resident or a fellow) at a nearby medical center that is associated with a medical school.
