Carole,

I don't understand why you say "probably nothing will get better". As a direct result of your initiation of this thread, and your significant contributions to it, you are now much better prepared for your first consultation with your new neurologist next week.

You need to go into that consultation with a clear idea in your mind of what you wish to achieve from the consultation. You need to make it clear to the neuro how important your vision problems are to you, and that you are determined to find a way to improve your vision. You need to explain to the neuro that you have a plan for this, and that the first step in that plan is to determine, with his/her help, whether one aspect of your vision problems is PD related or PD-medication related.

If your stars/lights/dots problem is not related to either PD itself or PD medication, the second step in the process is to consult another specialist to continue the search for an answer. In this event, the neuro can help by recommending the type of specialist to consult next. Failing that, your GP is the one to report back to and ask for a referral to an appropriate specialist.

In other words, I don't think you can just print out the 3-step-process webpage and give/show it to the neuro. There won't be time for that during the consultation. You need to use it as a basis for your own process.

The whole purpose of my involvement in this thread is to help you prepare for consultations such as the one next week with your new neurologist, and any subsequent consultations with other specialists.

Best wishes for your consultation next week.

Jeff
