Hullo All
I¡¯m writing from Cape Town , South Africa. I lost most of the useful vision in my right eye from NAION July 22.?
First misdiagnosed, but after careful choice I got a speedy, 3 minute diagnosis from my second ophthalmologist.?
She, and many others talked about a gradual acceptance and accommodation. In a fashion this has come about.?
But, I continue weekly, at times daily to be very aware of my NAION.? The practical issues whilst driving. Suddenly finding someone entered the room and I never saw them. Not realising some that was sitting alongside me, actually had left the couch. Every now and then checking that in fact there was improvement, when there definitely wasn¡¯t. Imagining that the good eye was showing subtle signs. Scared shit less that one day the right eye would be inflicted ,periodically imagining not being able to see at all. Frustrated that others can¡¯t understand what it¡¯s like to have suddenly lost vision. After all, I look healthy.?
I would love to hear the groups sentiments and experiences.?
Many thanks?
