Re: Curious - optic neuritis/ a LINK!

[Guest guest]

Usually close to all the vision in the affectedeye is lost---even if only for a week or so.As the ophthalmologist whom I went to aboutthis when I was 19, said to me, "n, this isnot something that new glasses can correct. . . . "If your eyesight is "very bad" you should seean M.D. ophthalmologist (eye doctor, not optometrist nor optician), as it could be somethingelse, too. For example, I have had a tiny cataractin my right eye since I was 21--believe me, that isnot optic neuritis. You should let your neurologistexamine your eyes as well, though.http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/opticneuritis.htmlLove to you, ,n who is extremely

near-sighted, but I cansee very well with my glasses--I no longer have episodes of optic neuritis, nor of retro-bulbaroptic neuritis, as I once did.To: MSersLife Sent: Mon, February 1, 2010 8:29:57 PMSubject: Curious - optic neuritis

How can you tell the difference between optic neuritis and just plain old

everyday eyestrain? My eyesight is very bad, and I do a lot of small

handwork and computer work that tires out my poor little eyeballs...

Thanks, n! And hope you're having nicer weather than we've had

today...

My vision is bad mainly because, when they " rebuilt " my eye a few years

back,

They installed a silicone band that squishes my eyeball out of round - the

best correction that can be gotten in that eye (with glasses) is 20/450.

The other eye corrects to very close to 20/20, so I'm kind of off-balance...

Just got to wondering how I would know when to worry and scurry down to

my opthamologist!
