I didn't know anything about retinapathy or treatments either. I'm not sure that if I'd have known I would have changed my irresponsible college years or not, as hindsight is always 20/20 or even 20/10! I agree with John that it was an extremely stressful time and very scary. I still can't speak about it verbally without choking up, and it's nice to have folks in an online world that know exactly what I mean. I wish I would have found this forum during the process instead of after, I could have used the information then. But as it goes, better late than never.
