Vision with ms
I was told I have secondary progressive ms. After hearing my dr. Say I have ms. He tells me to research online about it. As a woman we know when it's not a mental issue. But we get looked over. It frustrates me. I was in the hospital for losing my speech and my whole right side, like a stroke. I regained that back, but not like it used to be. In November I went to my daughters wedding and was having issues with my eyes. Came home for a few days and I lost my vision in my right eye. By the time I got to the er my vision in both eyes were gone. I see color and shade. Which is better than nothing at all. Sad part was I had just gotten my new car. So much happened in such a short amount of time. Has anyone had that happened to them?
Good morning. Men are also looked over when we know it's not a mental issue - join the club. I'm guessing you have suffered new lesions on this occasion (secondary progression would take longer than a few days). I had the same as you in my right eye only. Short term management is to stay cool and glare free- iced drinks, baseball cap etc. mid term is to give it 6mths to heal (to a Degree). Long term take O3 to help repair the Mylin and adapt your career n life style. To give you some reassurance I suffered optic neuritis 11 years ago and when I recently renewed my driving license I got 100% in my visual field test in both eyes.
That sounds scary. I only had the one attack in my left eye. An eye doctor prescribed me eye drops and with 24hrs I could only see shapes/shaddows, couldn't identify facial features, and see only 5 feet in front of me. That was in 2023 by 2024 with the help of steroids I was able to get most of my vision back and pass a visual field test. Before the optic neuritis i had 20/20 now I have 20/25. This could be because of age not the optic neuritis. Anyway, I hope you get most of your vision back if not all of it.
