• i was diagnosed to have RP four years ago and i've undergoing eye tests such as ERG and VER, are these necessary? I mean a have been comparing the results and they were just the same...can i refrain from doing such eye tests annually and just do it every two years?

• Why are they doing these annually? I have not had an ERG since 1981 when I first was diagnosed. These are diagnostic tools to confirm RP. There really is no reason to repeat them annually or at all unless you are in a research project.
  
  Do you mind I asking who the doctor is?

• I took an ERG and VER this year. I had noticed some changes in my eye sight and my doctor sent me to Wake Forest Hospital. I had not had an ERG in over 10 years. I am glad I went because it helped with my medical claim with my employer. Now I will go on an annual basis because I am noticing changes in my eye sight. The test helps the doctor see how the retina is working.
