Would you say for even a skin biopsy that there should be NO EPINEPHRINE in the local anesthesia used?? Thanks.

Many of us have posted this .. in ANY surgical situation .. face-to-face, providers involved MUST acknowledge your NAION. And in writing. With witnesses.
Or leave.
Providers rush about, today. Their insurers will thank you, for being CLEAR with them.

For what it's worth:
I was advised back in 2007 that since they no longer use epinephrine in that surgery that the danger of loss has been lessened.
Since I have a cataract in my remaining non-NAION eye that is of interest. However, they go by your existing visual acuity and at 20/20 in that eye, I do not see it as a high concern at present.
