Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just saw ONE of my eye specialists today. This first turned up last May during a regular visit with my ophthalmologist – some sort of optic nerve problem. One of my doctors believes that it’s another problem stemming from the HCV and cryo along with my neuropathy and RA. I believe him. The threat of losing my sight back in May is what drove me back to the liver doc for tx. It took several months for me to get an ophthalmic clearance to start tx and I thought things were going well. I see 2 specialists regularly – one for the retinas and the other for optic nerves. Today, I had another visual acuity test and it showed the problem still exists and perhaps I need to see an ophthalmic neurologist next. This scares the crap out of me and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced similar eye problems. Not retinal problems from interferon tx, but eye problems existing probably prior to tx. God knows, if I’m crippled the rest of my life, I’ll get by……but going blind is terrifying to me at 55 years old and being alone. I know there are worse things that could happen, but it’s scary.
