    \n
  1. How do you assess my current findings (e.g., perimetry, OCT) in terms of progression?<\/li>\n
  2. What changes have been objectively measurable since the last appointment?<\/li>\n
  3. Which warning signs should I monitor myself \u2013 and when should I report them?<\/li>\n
  4. Which therapy\/care options are suitable for me (e.g., TES with OkuStim\u00ae)?<\/li>\n
  5. What benefits and risks do you see with these options?<\/li>\n
  6. What can I realistically improve in daily life (lighting, contrast, orientation, aids)?<\/li>\n
  7. Which appointments\/intervals are appropriate (check-ups, adjustments, rehab)?<\/li>\n
  8. What impact does RP have on work\/studies \u2013 and what support is available?<\/li>\n
  9. Which points of reference do you recommend (self-help groups, rehab, study centers)?<\/li>\n
  10. What is the next concrete step \u2013 who does what by when?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
