Dr. Kim advised me of my condition, it's potential worsening, an assessment of risk, and odds of vision improvement.

I probably don't ask a lot of questions because I feel the dr is very busy and I don't want to take up a lot of time. This is just an assumption on my account and does not reflect negatively on the doctor.
