I have a scotoma in upper center of right eye. I'm seeing a
retina specialist. He did a fluorenscein angiogram and dx it
as ischemic optic neuropathy.  Further tests revealed it to be
non-arteritic. The scotoma seems to be spreading slowly toward my
nose.  There is no treatment but I read about ginko helping this
in some cases.  Can you comment on this?  Also, would a neuro
optholmologist be able to help my condition?  This retina spec.
says no but my primary care phy. made a referal.    It's going to be October 6th before I can get in to see him.  The first opthalmologist I saw was on the day when I first discovered the
scotoma.  He dismissed it as migraine.  I saw the next retina spec. 12 days later.  I would advise everyone to get a second opinion even if your opth doesn't suggest it.
