Re: I was going to ask Russ, is NAION truly permanent? So Jo hope for any improvement? My own doctor told me that there would be no improvement but it won¡¯t get worse. Surely there is hope?

Hi there.? I was 59 when I got hit with this condition.? I got it because of a fall in blood pressure due to sleep apena.??
Could I just ask our ages on here. There seems to be some research that the optimum age for NIAION is 57 and if you have had one eye affected there¡¯s a 30-40% chance that within 2 years there¡¯s likely to be a attack in the other eye. But after that there¡¯s
not much evidence of further attacks
?
Thanks Marc. I feel sad about it all. My problem is that my NAION happened in my only good functioning eye.?

No hope. No cases of spontaneous remission.?
On the other hand I have lived with NAION for 11 years and after the first month of being fearful, it has hardly affected my life since then. The most serious?side effect for me has been that it has been slightly more difficult to light a roach (joint).
