Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened
Brain Tumor | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (202)Comment receiving replies
my mri just found a meningioma on my right on my pituitary gland. They found it as I was having vision loss, i still see 20/20 but only out of the center of my vision, all peripheral on my left eye is blurry. I have 3 children, almost 42 and super stressed. @pixie49247 what were the results of your meningioma as its been a year, i am curious to how it resuloved.

i have similar types of vision problems and have for many years. Supposedly, it’s unrelated to my small meningioma that was found “incidentally” during a brain MRI in 2018. There is a remedy for that type of vision loss. It’s called “prisms” and is prescribed as part of a glasses RX. You want to find the most qualified practioner in your area fitting prisms. I happen to live in South Florida where the top eye institute in the country is located. I see a neuro-opthamologist who partners with a highly specialized optometrist who fits prisms. They can be designed to open your field of vision considerably. You don’t see prisms when you look at a pair of glasses but
they are designed and constructed to create an optical illusion.

Mine is in the same spot. I am scheduled for surgery at the end of the month to remove as much as possible. It’s pressing on my optic nerve too and I’m getting some blurry vision. It’s definitely stressful and scary. I have 2 kids and want to see them graduate and play with my grandkids someday!
