4 years ago I suddenly lost 80% of my vision. Countless eye doctors told me I would never see again.

Hey vision loss!!!!

I kicked your ASS, you are my BITCH

I found the right doc and made a huge leap of faith. Now for the first time in 4 years I'm going to go drive somewhere. I'm not sure where, but I'm just going to drive.

Hey James - nice name BTW!!

I have an eye disease called birdshot (eye inflmmation characterized by dots on my retina that resemble a shotgun splatter) caused by immune system "attacking" my eyes. (It's an auto-immune disease) I have been told by 4 surgeons that I will likely lose "functional" vision at some point in the future. I don't have much choice in finding another doc like you did, as 4 of them have confirmed the diagnosis. The prospect of losing my vision eats away at me as I haven't really come to terms with it yet.

I am curious, was your vision loss due to an accident or disease?

Nonetheless, I am ecstatic for you and your outcome. Decided where your driving yet, and in what?
