Hi, I have not tried those?things. My understanding is there are zero known and proved preventive?or any other kind of treatment, one can only hope.

I was at a follow up exam for a series of vitectomies/ retina repair procedures when it was discovered in a vision test. The retina doc ushered me down a few floors to a neuro opthamologist who did a couple of scans and a vision field test and told me a little about NAION.? Anyway I have briefly looked through the group posts and I appreciate the info I see posted. I am currently under no treatment except to have swapped my ACE inhibitor and beta blocker to the morning. With no treatments expected I have become interested in supplements and have read with interest the thread on citicoline.? Has anyone tried alpha lipoic acid or vitamins B3 or 12?? I guess it¡¯s a waste of money and emotion but maybe the cost is worth some hope.? Again, thanks for allowing me o participate.? I hope I can find something valuable to contribute.? |

Hi Ainul, while I haven¡¯t had another attack, and my NAION seems to be stabile, I¡¯m not sure if the supplements were helpful. ?My doctor said my vision would likely improve some after the attack and it has. ?He also said it would be unlikely for there to be another incident in that eye. ?So, my concern is the other eye. ? |

Here in Australia there has been much discussion about the over use of Vitamin B supplements. Too much of it can become toxic? On Tue, 15 Apr 2025 at 6:49?am, ainul wahidah ismail via <eyenull=[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Gary, Thanks for the update. Did you start the supplements immediately after the episode? May I know how long have you been taking them? Thanks! On Tue, 15 Apr 2025, 09:28 GaryGBrown via , <bhmvol=[email protected]> wrote:

I¡¯m a medical specialist. I, too have unilateral NAION I¡¯m not denigrating all the recent posts re acupuncture and supplements, but I must caution all to be circumspect when trying all of the above.? None of it is, at this time, backed up by reputable science and research.? I¡¯m cognisant of the attempt to do something.? The fear of doing nothing and the other eye being inflicted.? Please guys tread carefully.? Don¡¯t simply enrich others feeding into your ( our) fears Dr Terry BERELOWITZ? On Tue, 15 Apr 2025 at 15:48, ainul wahidah ismail via <eyenull=[email protected]> wrote:
