Hi there! Happy to help.
To completely rule out inheritance you can go for genetic testing. If you have siblings, they should too. Irrespective, you should consult your local retinal specialist for detailed retina evaluation every 6 months and do not ignore any drop in vision/ sudden visual symptoms.
Do not worry! Worrying or stressing about a possible diagnosis is only going to make you more anxious. Be relaxed and follow protocol, we are here to help and provide necessary options of needed at all :)
Next Steps
Consult local Retinal specialist + genetic testing
