Non arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy

Posted by Pedie @pedie, May 22, 2017

Over the past month 55 year old son has lost vision in one eye. He has seen an ophthalmologist, had an MRI, was told that nothing can be done. Are there any treatments for this.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Eye Conditions Support Group.

Hi all. I'm happy to see a discussion group on NAION. I was diagnosed with it April 2017, despite 10 years of a daily baby aspirin regimen. My neuro opthamalogist mentioned a stem cell study starting this January. Anyone else aware of this study?

There are so many different eye problems but I haven't seen one recently about non arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, which I have in both eyes. Does anyone know someone with this? I don't have peripheral vision nor can I see anything under my nose.

Hi @weezy1939, I moved your post to the discussion on Non Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy so that you can reconnect with the members you were talking with previously, like @lioness @marcog @pslabels @mlbondurant and others.

Weezy, how are you doing?

Hello Weezy 1939....I was diagnosed with NAION last July...end of the month, 2018....in my left eye....I"ve lost central and to the inner eye vision, only seeing above, below and peripheral to the right....my problem is I'm very nearsighted in that eye so vision is limited, however I do have sight in my right eye and am very afraid it will happen in that eye as well. I can't imagine having it in both. Did your's come on simultaneously, or separately? and did it come quickly, or overnight?

You asked how I was doing in July but have not looked at connect. I am legally blind with 10% of my vision. This is my new world and I have adapted to it. I am surprised how rare this condition is. My eye doctor said in 30 years of practice he has only seen this happen 3 times
