Couldn't agree more......... my own story tallies entirely ! Age 62, myopic ++ without glasses, specialist diagnosed PVD in one eye about 18 months ago. Once reassured I can live with it happily, it's not got any worse, and actually gets a bit better now and then. Still working, still driving, still flying.
The important message here is that it needs a specialist, with the right equipment, to diagnose it with safety and confidence !
