Hi opticians said andys eye problems didn't need referral to opthalmologist as opthalmologist discharged him a year ago that was before we knew about Attaxia I had asked if eye problems were linked to epilepsy or neurology and was told unlikely now we have attaxia diagnosis possibility secondary to meds does he need.to see a neuro opthalmologist? If.so.how

Thanks

Hi😊 I was referred twice over a period of years by separate opticians, the last time was to a Neuro Opthamologist, although my eye problem was different. If you need to be reassured and the optician cannot do this, ask for a referral to someone who can. 😊xB
