Before I found it out. I has RP. I got first contact lenses when I was 15 years old. It was a hard. I didn't like it. I got an eyes infection when I was 18. I stopped wear a hard contact lenses. I tried to fight with ophthalmologist to let me get a new soft contact lenses.
Of course, I will keep ophthalmologist lady forever! She is so nice! She let me take a contact lenses with soft.

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.
