Hya all,ive seen neurology at guys hospital,and they are having me for three days for tests/scans etc. When i received a copy of my GP letter confirming my consultation it says Optic neuropathy is apparent, ''no afarent'' Has anybody any idea what this means? Ive had pale optic discs seen in the past and the consultant at Guys saw it too.
