Also, I go to a low vision doctor who deals in macular degeneration, concussions, etc. Try to find a doctor in your area who deals with this. Keep searching and see whomever your insurance will cover - every doctor for opinions. Don't wait, make appointments with whomever will see you. Appointment take long and are hard to get so, don't give up. Make several at a time. Get my point? Do you get injections in your eyes?

Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed with NAION one week ago at Mass General Emergency Eye Hospital. My right eye is affected with grey clouding that gives me very little vision. I am seeing a specialist on Tuesday and booked another doctor at the end of April for a second opinion.
I am a 61 year old male Brit that has lived in the US since 1988. I am absolutely terrified with this diagnosis especially because there is no cure or treatment. I am a graphic designer so vision loss is my worst nightmare. I just wanted to connect with other people in the same situation and not feel so alone in this. Sending positive energy to you all,
