I have a very good optic neurologist that I have been seeing for 2 years for my optic neuritis. It's a little different. I was just there last week for my visual fields (also have glaucoma) and OCT which are pictures of the optic nerve which shows any damage and inflammation. The test are before I see him in a couple of weeks. You cant feel anything, you just stare in a machine. My right eye has the most damage. He was also able to pick up signs of MS early on where my eyes don't move at the same time when glancing to the side. Some people have this, others don't. One moves then after a second the other follows. I forget what it's called. He took a video of it and sent to my MS neurologist.
So the doc should schedule you for the OCT and then when you return review them with you. It's so important to be checked and get treatment if needed.
Hope everything goes well on your visit and you hear only good news. ๐ฎ
Hi Alps, yes I have been using Timolol drops for about 12 years. Pressures are stable. I had not heard of that supplement. I'll have to read about it. Thanks.
I have what I call a nervy eye doctor (neuro opthamologist). He's a little different. One, he always wants a copy of my latest brain MRI. Second, he sits me down in front of a box where I have to rest my chin on a little chin rest. H hands me an eye patch and tells me to look directly at the light in the center. Also says I cannot look anywhere else, hands me a button clicker and tells me I need to click the button when I see any light flashing in the box while still staring at the light in the center. Ch ange eyes with patch, and click again. Then he wants to put me in the torture rack with the thing that goes right up agains t my eye ball. Does that with each eye. Asks me again about my optic neuritis, and says he'll see me again in a year.
