My non-medical, case of one experience is that flying in a pressurized aircraft wasn¡¯t a problem for me. ?Also anecdotal is that I had shingles prior to NAION and even was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia prior to NAION. ?The same virus causes both. I¡¯m not sure if the trigeminal neuralgia was misdiagnosed or is in some kind of remission but I haven¡¯t had any attacks since the first several knee buckling weeks of searing pain in my left jaw. The shingles was on my left upper torso and NAION in my left eye.?
