No. I have never heard of him. I am keen to learn more. I will read up on it?

Many of us have learned .. a loss of vision will IMMEDIATELY cause a CAT or MRI scan .. as vision loss is a sign of stroke.?? ? ? ?Very urgent, very important.? You will never see, a medical office move as fast, than with vision loss.
There is a related vision loss issue .. optical neuritis .. optical nerve becomes infected .. ~70% of cases are permanent.? With NAION, 100% of cases are permanent.

Thanks Bobbie, I appreciate all the feedback.? I went to presbyterian hospital.? They were not very helpful on follow and/or treatment.? I had to question about covid and the vaccine when I seen so many people having eye?problems when I was there.? I would not think it is typical.? Thank you for sharing. On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 6:57 AM Bobbie James < rrjames61@...> wrote: There are many studies on the correlation between the vaccine and NAION.? But, what my NO told me, and it makes sense to me, is that because so many of us were getting the vaccine at the time it is hard to make the causal connection between the two.? That is, when talking about such a large population (of people getting the vaccine), there are a certain number of people who are going to get NAION anyway, it's hard for science to say, yep, the vaccine is what caused the NAION.? That is my very unscientific understanding of what she told me...??
That being said, I got the vaccine and the first booster before I read the articles about the possible correlation.? Since then I did not get the second booster.? I'm not advocating for that, I'm just saying with one eye already impacted by NAION, I don't want to take the chance that the day after I get the booster I wake up and can't see out of both eyes.? I'm in a position, however, that allows me to work at home and generally stay away from people.? I'm also pretty comfortable still wearing my mask everywhere I go.
Does anyone know if there are any studies that correlate Covid 19 or the vaccine to this condition? When I was sent to the hospital there was an entire waiting room of people who were being seen for swollen optic nerve. Not sure how many were diagnosed as NAION but regardless seemed very odd.?

I been to one of the best hospitals in the states and they really gave me no direction.? Joe, -Yes, gets easier, but takes time. -Many people (including myself) are just as bothered by the subsequent anxiety. If you have a lot of anxiety please do not hesitate to get it treated. -Accupuncture can be good for anxiety, and headaches caused by the visual change and eye strain, but it can¡¯t do anything for the eye itself. -NAION has an association with hypertension and possibly with sleep apnea. Get checked for both if you can. Managing cardiovascular health is always important (heart attacks and strokes are much more common than NAION, so its worth doing just for that).? Stay hydrated especially if you exercise. -If you are still within three weeks of onset it is possible that your vision will continue to change a bit. Keep seeing your neuro-opthalmologist especially if you have any further changes, or if you get severe headaches. -In addition to the effects on your affected eye (dead retinal ganglion/optic nerve cells), you may have other issues for a while with your eyes working together, or with your brain making sense of the new input. Here are some suggestions that made a difference for me: ? - If you wear glasses try to find a low vision optometrist. This is not a substitute for a neuro-opthalmologist, but they will have more insight into what works with vision correction, and more patience for trying different things. ?
- I got yellow/orange tinted sunglasses and used them for the first year. Somehow the enhanced contrast helped relax my eyes, or maybe it was just having a bit less light.
- I do have a large curved monitor, and I love it. My wife hates it though.
- I have to work hard (exercise) to maintain my body awareness on my right (bad) side, or I get clumsy. Anything that uses your whole body. Exercise nearly always improves my outlook.
? There are some things we are not supposed to do, but the evidence about their association with NAION is equivocal at best: ? - Avoid certain medications. Your doc will tell you which ones, but among them are PDE5 inhibitors (eg Viagra).
- Avoid high altitudes.
- If you have surgery tell the anesthesiologist about the NAION. You don¡¯t want to have your BP go too low. ?
- Be careful with strenuous exercise until the swelling of your optic nerve head has resolved. This is usually ~6 weeks¡ªyour doc will tell you when the swelling has resolved. If you are a weightlifter you may really need to back off on intensity and weight. The point is to avoid suddenly raising your intraocular pressure or getting really dehydrated. Ask your doc about this.

? ? ? Thank you and Sorry to hear that. ? Yes it does get easier. It will probably take up to 12 montbs but the brain does adapt. As for treatments and medication I personally would just try to carry on as normal and not to look for solutions for it can be an obsession. I have had mine in both eyes for 7 years and yes it Anne annoying but don¡¯t let it rule you. You control it. Good luck ? I am new to this. Just had this happen 3 weeks ago. I have a few questions.? 1.? Does it get easier to deal and cope with. I find myself exhausted at the end of the day because of the amount of focus I have to put into life. If that makes sense? ? 2.? Has anyone tried and has had positive results with acupuncture.? 3.? Any ideas on what to do to promote health in good eye. I am doing a lot of cardiovascular related exercise etc.? 4.? Does anyone know of any exercises or therapy that can be done with NAION to help.? ? On Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 2:11 AM Chiarina Blake <jc.blake2@...> wrote: Thank you. I am getting a Lap Top.

I just tried it .. so far, less tiring on NAION eye .. something to do with curvature, eye has to "strain" less It was $129, when I bought it. It helps sometimes .. sometimes not.
