Re: When did you know you had a disc-at-risk?

Tracey Dowsing All Messages By This Member #1894 开云体育 Hi Ruby, I wasn’t told for ages. I saw references from other sufferers to crowded discs and so asked my optician whether this applied to me. She told me no. Later, when having further tests I was shown scan results of my optic nerve head and told that I definitely had 2 discs at risk. This was several months after my initial first episode of NAION. I get very frustrated at the lack of knowledge and expertise for our condition. So difficult to get support and understanding, let alone useful advice. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 11 Nov 2024, at 22:32, Ruby via groups.io <rcroyhome@...> wrote: ? Hey folks, this may have been discussed previously, but I am curious as to when each of you discovered you had a disc-at-risk. After my attack, I asked my optometrist,?if surgeon?would have discovered it during cataract surgery, and my optom said he already knew about it.? The more I think about the fact that he had had this information about my eye for some time and didn't share it with me, bothers me, and I feel like that is something all optometrists should let their patients in on.? That way, if we have any of the possible contributing factors, we would be more apt to act on them.
