At what point did you decide to start seeing a Retina Specialist?
Did you start when you were first diagnosed in the early stage or did you wait until you were getting close to or once you were in the intermediate stage?
I never hear if that before joined this group.
Hi Karen,
I decided to see a retina specialist shortly after my diagnosis in the early stage. Although my symptoms were mild, I wanted expert guidance from the beginning to monitor any changes closely and stay ahead of progression. Retina specialists can often detect subtle developments that general eye exams might miss, and it gave me peace of mind knowing I was taking a proactive approach to protecting my vision.I started seeing a retina specialist soon after my early-stage diagnosis to establish a baseline and closely monitor any changes. Early visits allowed for detailed imaging, like OCT scans, so even subtle changes could be detected and addressed before the condition progressed.
