on 7/7 a 95% blockage was removed from
the left carotid artery.while recovering
I noted a change in my vision-on 8/4 I
went for an eye exam & found out I can
not see straight ahead with my rt. eye.
Upon turning my head to the left I could
see everything much clearer than the left
eye.The optomotrist would not comment on
the problem,but insisted I see a specialist.
I will do so,however I'm curious if this
was a result of the blockage & it had not
fully recovered as yet.
Also I am under a physician's care for
high blood pressure.Since the surgery
my medication strength has been reduced
significantly.
Would you be good enough to recommend
Vitamin/Mineral or Herbal products that
could improve this I problem as I do not
wish to have surgery.
Thank you,
Jfc

unfortunately it sounds as if u have suffered either a stroke to your optic nerve, or an embolism to your retina which has caused u to lose vision. there is no treatment for this, onl trying to prevent the problem from recurring. the vision may improve over time good luck
