I had my first occurrence of NAION last August and I lost about 80% of my vision in that eye. It was a huge adjustment. I have high blood pressure and I¡¯m diabetic and I also have crowded discs. I was taking my BP meds at night and my ON told me to stop doing that and take it in the morning. I was on Ozempic for a year before the occurrence and I stopped that immediately. The plan now is to do all I can to hopefully keep it from happening in my left eye, so?I now have a sleep study scheduled.
Is it normal to have that much vision loss with NAION? Most of the vision is gone, looks gray. The other 20% is blurry so I don¡¯t see anything clearly. If the same happens in my left eye, I would essentially be blind. It¡¯s scary!

? Re Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hello Deane,
Yes, in my case there was definite improvement in both eyes, the eye with the current optic swelling and the eye that was 21 months out. HVF tests show both had dramatic improvements. I will share data on these improvements in a few weeks as I am getting more testing done next week. I will share follow up data soon after.

Debra,
?Thanks for sharing. Very interesting! We all need more doctors that
are not afraid to try a new approach.
?Did the hyperbaric oxygen treatment help both eyes? I'm sure we all
would welcome a treatment that works
with older NAION cases. Were the results noticeable to you and
dramatic?

Thank you Debra. Really appreciate it.
Dear NIAON friends,
Some Zoom participants on
Saturday asked me to share with our email group what my
Neuro-Ophthalmologist,
recommended to me when I was first diagnosed with NAION
(vitamins, eye drops etc).? I have attached in two pdfs
(below) an after visit summary of her recommendations for
me. When 21 months later I had my 2nd NAION event in the
2nd eye, she suggested I try Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments
in addition to the protocol we had used previously. I did
try the Hyperbaric treatments with positive results. She
thought I was very receptive to that type of treatment
since I showed great improvement quickly and she is more
likely to recommend hyperbaric oxygen treatment to others
as my HVF scores greatly improved. It is not covered by
most insurances but it did go towards my yearly deductible
In closing I just wanted to share
what one Neuro-Ophthalmologist gave to me in my moments of
need.
Am not suggesting this would work
as your path of healing but it is nice to compare
strategies. All treatments should be monitored by your
doctors.
Watch a?
Best in vision,
Debra B

Re: How common is second NAION attack?
Paul, This is so interesting. I love pickleball and have not been able to play since February. I have tried and my husband and friends have been great about trying to play with me, but it¡¯s so frustrating, that I¡¯ve stopped for now. The driving part is a little crazy and I¡¯m hoping that at my next appt. I will get help with that. I don¡¯t drive at night or in rainy conditions. Depth perception and color has been greatly affected this time around. I have a friend who is completely blind, so, I¡¯m so grateful for all that I do see. But I¡¯m hoping that I can find tools to get back to my independent self again soon!

There are alleged clinics in Germany and Moscow that make treatment claims about NAION, charging $25,000. Actually reading NIH documents -- and thinking seriously -- deter those with good sense.

Hello Deane,
Yes, in my case there was definite improvement in
both eyes, the eye with the current optic swelling and the eye
that was 21 months out. HVF tests show both had dramatic
improvements.
I will share data on these improvements in a few
weeks as I am getting more testing done next week.
I will share follow up data soon after.
Best in vision,

Russ, No need to complain. On May 9th? I asked if her 22 month old
NAION case in her other eye was helped by the Oxygen treatment (as
well as the recent attack on the second eye) and on May 10th she
said it was helped dramatically.? That leaves room for
optimism.

Re: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) & NAION: Google A.I. search
Yes but it seems it helped our fellow NAION victim. If you can pay for it what¡¯s wrong with trying it Russ??
>>Oh, yeah, ignore MD/PhDs. Brilliant. Just like rfkjr?
You need to read. Her case was IMMEDIATE ON-SET .. not weeks old/months old/years old. Uh-huh?
As long as we continue to shoot down possible therapies we will get no where and we will remove hope.?
>> "He who counsels himself.. has a fool for a client" And your MD degree is from Google U.?
By any chance are you the moderator of the Facebook NAION page??
>> Look in the mirror, dude. You are his twin. Congratulations.

We all understand hope is slim for us during our lifetimes but many of us are willing to try if there is only a glimmer of hope. By any chance are you the moderator of the Facebook NAION page??
