A very important warning for others afraid to get bad news.
My mother had an almost identical experience but she didn't go till she lost sight in the left eye. After that she loved her eye doctors for saving the vision in her right. It really is better to know, especially for something like eye health when you are probably going to do whatever they recommend anyway.
Thanks for the valuable post. I wish you continued health.
