My b**tard old ophthalmologist didn't allow me to drive. He got made me angry and crying. He isn't really friendly to me and my mom. I got another ophthalmologist from my hometown. He is mean to me! He won't let me drive or take a contact lenses. I got a new Ukrainian ophthalmologist lady. She is very nice to me. She do understand how do I feeling. I told her I want to take a contact lenses soft. She said yeah! I have no problem with it at all. If I can't drive. I have to get a stem cell surgery for my vision in future.
1 of man whom from my school together. He have a worse Usher Syndrome than I am. He used to drive in 1997 until 2002. He have a trouble with his vision at night. His friend helped him to drive on a wheel. I was so bitter because he was driving. It's not fair to me. I became rebellion at my mom for tell to supervisor for not give me a Drive Education class when I was Sophomore. I wasn't forgive my mom for tell. She had to tell him from doctor's said no. The man was a drive. His vision is getting worse and go bad to tunnels. His doctor commanded him not to drive anymore. He is going to be a blinds. He can't see anything just a little tunnels vision. It's so sad!

I'm sorry about you had hard time with 2 of eye doctors, I'm aware that not all eye doctors are good but never experience with bad eye doctor in my life. There's currently no treatment on public for RP/US but would probably come in 10 years or little over and new treatment are currently undergoing and work on it, such as gene therapy, stem cell or others.
That's shame about couple of your doctors refuse to make prescription on contact lenses or glasses, it's important for reading, watch tv and clear vision. I have wear contact lenses since 14 years old and had been worn glasses for 1 year before switch to contact lenses in long time ago. I'm candidate for LASIK but I decided to wait in near future. If you feel not trust to both of them or reject to give something then just go to regular eye doctor and ask them to take exam for glasses or contact lenses.
Now, you are lucky about found other better eye doctor, just keep with her.
I'm little sick of floaters (occurred in 2002 after bad accident from football) but not part of symptom with RP/US and it will go away in certain years, it can be few or several years.
