Non arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy

Hello,I am unofficially diagnosed yet but one doctor told me I may have had an eye stroke. I will be seeing a neuro opthamologist in a couple weeks and from what I have read, I fit a lot of the factors from NAION. May I ask what some of your symptoms are? I had a routine yearly eye exam and my opthamologist told me my optic nerve was swollen. After a normal CT and normal inflammatory markers, I have not had any vision loss, just some momentary kaleidoscope vision. I assume I prob need an MRI of the brain and eye orbits. Any thoughts or similar circumstances? Thank you.

Hello, @wpoints I'm Scott and I had a stroke, which lodged in one of my eyes. I lost all the sight in that eye so I am pleased to read you have had no vision impairment or loss!
Before my stroke, for years. I had kaleidoscopic or prismatic effects in my eyes and was told they were visionary migraines. They lasted from a few minutes to an hour or more. Other than that I had no symptoms. It just came on out of the blue as I was told stokes so often do. All this said I was not diagnosed with NAION.
Good luck with your appointment! I see my eye specialist team once a year now.
Strength, Courage, & Peace

Welcome, @wpoints. I'm glad to hear that you've not had any vision loss. I'm tagging @naion1lefteye and @IndianaScott on this discussion who may be able to offer some feedback regarding NAION and eye stroke respectively.
I look forward to hearing what you learn after seeing the neuro ophthalmologist.
