Accepted Answer

Dear Worried: Please don't try to get your second opinion from a free general health education site. We  don't know your history. We haven't seen your eyes. It is very important for you to get back in touch with the eye doctor or his/her staff and to ask what your examination revealed. Write down the name. Ask if if is a cause for concern. Talk to the doctor who examined you - not to doctors who don't know you.
