Please make sure your are seeing a retinal specialist.
Dr. O.
i see a lot of retinal specialist and they say there is no treatment just stay at home and do nothing and i don't know if there's no treatment only or there's another place in the world has a treatment for this case
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.
Hello,
I also have Retinal & Macula problems but nothing close to what you descibe, & just wanted to say i feel for you & your father. I'm female & 57.
I will pray the best for him & may you find only the best Retinal dr.'s to treat him.
Sincerely Corrinebeth

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].

I pray he best for you & your dad.

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 have an uncommon macular condition, and the method I described above has worked extremely well for me for keeping up with the very latest research and possible treatment options. I've received so much help and support through email correspondence with the authors of recent research papers as well as other people with my condition. I really don't know what I would have done without the Internet.
