Did we help any? Do you think you have ON?

I don't have ON, nor have ever had it, but I went through the exact same testing as LATW.  

My ophthalmologist did all of the testing except for the VEP.  My neuro ordered that test looking for "dissemination in space" and a Dx.

Do you suspect that you have it?

I started with ON sometime the last part of May. I have had a complete vision exam which included a vision field test, check for glacoma, retinal detachment, having my eyes dialated.....I went for an MRI which did show ON. I also had an EVR test done. It was easy. All I had to do was stare at a tv screen with a lot of black dots. They would change patterns. That test came back showing ON also.

The testing is very easy and not painful at all. The only part I hated was having my eyes dialated! I'd rather have the MRI done than being dialated!
