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?
