Vision

My right eye blind spots are a tab bit better.  Left eye worse.  Over all I am seeing less light.  The last OCT showed damage.

The eye doctor is going to do another OCT in 6 months.  My vision is crummy.

Hi,
Maybe I should have included that the blind spots are the ones showing on the vision field tests.

My vision fields test showed slight blind spots with my first bout of ON.  Those improved.  Second bout of ON they got worse with added areas.  

Now my left eye has started with blind spots on the vision field test and my vision is dimming.

Well even putting it that way it still does not sound too good.

I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that your vision problems were so advanced.  It has to be really frightening.  

I hope that there is something that they can do to halt the progression!!

Boy, that's tough!  I would find it very difficult to live life normally without my vision.  Have you stocked up on books on tape?

You probably feel like I did with this injection site.  Being pushed here and there.  It is frustrating!

sorry to hear your having vision problems, I hope it clear soon.  

I'm heading to an optomotrist today, as my right eye has been getting worse, blurry and achy, the Neuro Opthomologist is not available at the MS clinic and they said to go to the ER or call my GP..

my GP said to see an optomostrist or wait at ER for 8 hours??  see an optomotrist first then ER after you get your eyes checked out.... so that what I'm doing today

take care and hope your vision improves

There is so much more to vision than I realized.  Sounds dumb.  I knew things were dimmer.  I don't have to wear sunglasses anymore.

I need to read up on vision and MS.  Wonder how bad it can get?

I hope the right eye continues to improve.  Losing vision, even partially, is a very scary thing.  I hope it resolves quickly.
