Dining in the dark is too funny. CSI just had a great episode on the topic, in which a guy was murdered by one of the blind waiters. all too funny in an...
Hi Sara, i do not live in NY, my brother does. I live in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. What is the status on your RP? I was officially diagnosed when I was 38 yr old. I...
A short note about my recent cataract surgery. First I was diagnosed at 42 with RP ( a good ophtalmologist). I am now 57. I am also at my 3rd pair of hearing...
I was wondering about cataracts. I was diagnosed at age 5 or so with RP. I'm 30 now. I found out 4 years ago I had a cataract on my right eye. Now, I have been...
I too have cataracts. I was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome/RP at age 19, and at 32 the cataracts were first noticed. I'm now 43 and the blurriness is increasing...
I think almost everyone with RP gets cateracts. I had mine develop in my late 20s and had them out when I was 28/29 yrs old. The surgery isn't bad and the...
I'm usually cautious about recommending for or against things because there are different individual circumstances, but I have to say I get the feeling that...
With RP we have no clue how long we even will see at all. If there's a chance to make your sight better than it is -- for however long you have it -- why...
The surgery: Came in at 7:00am, came out at 8:45 , was home outside enjoying South weather an hour later. The first day to accomodate. The third day I was...

I've just been told I need cataract surgery 'sooner rather than later'. It scares me to death - is it uncomfortable lying with your eyes open, surgery on the...
It is not uncomfortable. They fill you full of "happy juice" and you are *very* relaxed. You really have no care in the world! You can't tell what's going on...
I didn't feel a thing. I don't know how long it took or what they did. All I remember was looking at the white light (the surgical light) and the doctor...
I have a question for all RPers.. Did you lose your peripheral vision in one area first and then gradually different areas... in other words where did the loss...
My tested fields have always been pretty much circular, as far back as I know, just shrinking over time to a smaller and smaller circle. The doctor claims that...
Well mine seems to be in a circular pattern. Over time the circle has benn gettin a bit smaller and smaller. Welp there you go... good luck in your findings I...
Hi Liz. I've had your same question. I always expected, as told by the "pros," that my vision would slowly tunnel inwardly until the lights went out, like...
Dear Moderator, Recently, I see some messages in Turkish language and not related to the subjects of this group. This is not a place for general communication...
Today was my 2nd visit to the retinal specialist, gang! I saw him 6 months ago, and heard my retina had some edema, that my optic nerve had been damaged, and...

Hello everyone. I have RP, but it seems mild compared to many others. I am from the US, but am currently teaching in another country. Is RP covered under the...
Kevin, I'd say the ADA is very generic and covers all disabilities, including RP. However, if your RP is very mild, I would try to not make it an issue at all...
