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?

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?

?Hi Debra,?

Sorry to hear you had a second attack in the other eye.?

Just want to know, do you have sleep apnea? If yes, do you use CPAP machine to treat the condition?

Thanks
