Thanks for the link Jamie. I'll check out the study when I get a chance. The ophthalmologist I first went to and saw three times,--initial visit, results of lab tests and then MRI, reported her diagnosis and then said "take care of yourself." She did offer to refer me to a neuro ophthalmologist who saw me twice. His suggestion was to take a daily baby aspirin and perhaps have my gp do a sleep study on me. My partner can attest I do not have sleep apnea and I'm hesitating to take aspririn every day. I am taking resveratrol daily, based on the recommendation of an ophthalmologist who is a physician for a friend of my mother's. I have been doing acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The western medicine folks all say there is no treatment for NAION and hopefully I won't have an occurrence in my other eye. Thanks for your interest!
