Yes for me; about 25% both eyes, though NAION so far in one eye only, but it¡¯s about 90% impaired.

To everyone:
When you write about your first or second NAION event please let us
know if you have
?a low cup-to-disc ratio in that eye as that would be helpful in
understanding why it may have happened.
Often, that is the number one cause, but not always.
Thank you.

I agree with Deborah sometimes we will never know what caused
the second event. I had no conditions that any of the doctors
could find that could even cause the first event ?and the second
was five months later . ?all tests were negative ?and ?I was int
?pretty much perfect health.After my first event they all
assured me that my chances of a second event was minimal. My
newest NO felt very differently and said it is her experience
that the chances of a second event is greater than 30 to 40%
over a two to five year period. She noticed the swelling in the
second eye before I even had any symptoms and for six weeks I
was 2020 and then it got worse even with steroid treatment.
Being bilateral is certainly life-changing. Try to go on with
your life and enjoy every day.Not knowing what else I could have
done has been difficult but overtime I am learning to adapt . My
best to all of you ,
Mike
