Angela, I can imagine that you and your husband are concerned and anxious about this development. The unknown is scary. Does your husband have any underlying conditions? Were you given any medication or instructions to help reduce the swelling?

hi there! thank you for your quick reply and support. I forgot to mention what he is seeing, which may help.
Out of his left eye, he is seeing a blacked out bar with blurriness underneath. above the line is clear and his right eye is clear. he is experiencing headaches due to bright lights above him or anything on the floor that is bright, like an airport terminal.
he does not have any underlying conditions and he is adopted so unfortunately we do not know the genetic history.
there was no medication or instructions given to him at all. we were basically told there was nothing that can be done and it may or may not get better. hopefully we can find out more here or through mayo because google-ing and researching is causing me major fear for eventual blindness.
thank you so much.
