I lost vision in my left eye last month. I went to Mayo and was told it was NAION. I am still in the learning stage. I don't have any of the risk factors except I have no cup on either eye. My ratio was 10: 0.0 . I am following up with my doctor for a sleep study. I don't think I have sleep apnea but I figure the only way to know is to do the study. How may here have low or no disc to cup ratios?
I am glad you got a diagnosis, even though it is a very worrisome one for you. Now that you know, a visit or referral - sooner rather than later - to a Neuro ophthalmologist is your next step - can be hard to find except in a larger metro area, but my friend saw one for a related optic neurotic, and regained some of he damaged vision. This is also the place to get advice about protecting your other eye.
Good luck and let us hear how you progress.
