I know what you mean Tom. I lost the tunnel vision in my right eye when I was about 10 yrs old. I am 42 yrs old now and it sure is and has been quite a hinderance. I am slowly losing the vision in that eye and fear that I will eventually be blind in my right eye. Fortunately my left eye is still going strong. Losing sight makes you see everything in a different way. (not meant to be funny). Eelie is right.... 2nd opinion is a good idea. Don't just give up and give in to it. Ya never know.... they may just figure out how to combat it tomarrow... figuratively speaking. I will pray for you Tom.

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't. 

A whiner is about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
