Dear All,

I have joined this group two days before. Thanks to Manuel and Moderators
for accepting me one among you. This groups seems to be encouraging and
supportive. I have been much impressed.



Before preceding let me give brief introduction about me.

Name : B. Sundar

Age : 29

Sex : Male, Single

Native : India

Qualification : Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronics)

Working as a Project Coordinator at Saudi Arabia



I have been diagnosed as RP patient at the age of 21 and symptom started at
16. My visual acuity is 6/12 and have enough field vision. But it is
progressing. Recently I am seeing the object as wavy in the right eye. As
I am out my country, I have checked with local ophthalmologist. The doctor
said that it is due to the progress of RP affecting central retina and there
is no retinal detachment.



My basic worry is that being highly technical and management oriented
person, I couldn't able to step up further for my career improvement as I
missed many good jobs because of medical fitness due to RP. Based on my
assessment about the progress of my RP, I can able to do my job for another
five years. But after that there is lot of question?????????????????????



As there is no cure for RP at present, I have to look for an alternative
career to pass on till the treatment for RP comes to reality. In addition
to the above skills, I have good software knowledge ie. C, C++, Oracle,
Visual Basic, MS Office, Autocad, etc etc.



I couldn't able to imagine that all these skills will be wasted because of
RP. Do any of you in the group faces similar problem? If so I would
welcome if you could share with me. Hope I will get it.



Thank you for showing patience and spending your valuable time to read my
message. .



Best Regards,

Sundar
