Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

Posted By Sybil on August 26, 1999 at 10:05:13
February 99,  I was diagnosed with the above.  For two years now I have also been treated for histoplasmosis after living a year in Tennessee.  I have at least 50% vision loss in both eyes.  Information given to me dated 1992, stated a new procedure that was being introduced dealing with a surgical operation to open the lining around the optic nerve soon after vision is loss.  Can you tell me if this is still a sucessful procedure done now or are there any new developments in treating ION?  Thank you in advance for your assistance.  Also, could you tell me what hospital/clinic/physician in the uNited States that would be the premier in treatment for my condition?  I am not finding the help I need or would like in Charlotte, NC.  Thank you
Sybil
