Question for Dr. Hagan

[Foodie123]

Hello

I would like to get some feedback from doctors on this forum. I'm a 22 year old female with Multiple Sclerosis (diagnosed 5 months ago however, had symptoms at age 19), Lattice degeneration OU, mild myopia OU, retinal hole OD (non-threatening) and floaters/flashes OU. I've realized that there are two eye issues I have to potentially worry about during my lifetime--optic neuritis and retinal detachment. I understand I am at a greater risk for both of these. My question is, what is the likelihood that I would get either or based on my pre-existing conditions? Am I in for a tough life in terms of my eye health? Is this uncommon for a young person and have you seen this during your years of practice?

Thanks for your help.
