Brief Answer: Have trust and follow the advise. Detailed Answer: You can consult the specialist next week. As I practice far away from your location, I do not personally know of specialist available there. I am sure your local physician / ophthalmologist will know about. Alternatively you can ask your insurance provider, they can give you valuable suggestions. The mode of treatment will be determined after detailed evaluation. I gave my opinion with best of my knowledge. It is not a scam. You are free to ask me questions. Wish you good luck!! Best Regards
