While the Irrational Poe...et is on my ignore list, I still witness his lunacy from time to time. Stevie Wonder is not completely blind, FWIW. I know a guy who knows him, and he explained it to me.

Not trying to be a know it all but I think you might be confused. RP is retinitis pigmentosa (genetic-not oxygen concentration related-rods/cones effected). ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) or retrolental fibroplasia is what occurs in premies on O2 and is vascular related.

No problem, I think that I just have some vague memory of the information. I learned something today!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
