Re: How common is second NAION attack?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have not, but over the years of this group there have been a few people who reported more events.? An NO said that is rare. less than 5%, because the attacks shrink the optic nerve and improve the disk ratio making another event very unlikely.? I am bilateral but I have not relaxed about protecting my vision.? I still do what I can to defend it like staying away as much as I can from anything the shrinks the blood vessels and taking any heart related drug in the morning.

I ?also have NAION in both eyes. After the first event, I was always told there was only a 15% chance of it recurring in the second eye. The second event has been tough, but I do still see well enough to drive in areas I¡¯m familiar with. The question that has recently come to mine and I plan to ask at my next appointment is - has anyone had this happen a third time, worsening the damage in either eye?

I recall reading in my early research that ?amongst all stricken once, chance of second eye being affected is 15% within 5 years. Can¡¯t recall the source.

Hi everyone?
?
By reading messages in this group, I have a feeling that second NAION is much more common than I expected.?
Is it a misperception? Or is it really quite common to have a second attack. I am very worried.

thanks
