  • John Hopkins discovered my eye disease while I was in the Air Force. I was lucky enough to retire prior to it getting worse. The hard part was driving to work in the dark. So many times I could not see the lines. For me I can not drive in the rain or when the road is wet. Fog is also a problem for me.What really gives me problems is I have black spots in both eyes that flicker, and it seems to be where the blind spots are. Very hard to go outside in the beginning as I see gobs of flashing black dots. They never go away. If they are not black they are while flickering. The doctors don't know what this is though they said they have'nt studied RP enough as there are many many different types of rp.Can anyone relate to any of this?
