Hello everybody,
I have lost partial vision of my left eye last year, I was wondering if there is still a possibility to recover or not.
do you know anyone that has recovered after such a long period of time?
Thank you very much
Hi.
I had optic neuritis in 2008. In a few days I lost most of the vision in my left eye. It slowly came back over the course of nine months but never recovered fully. I think that’s the usual course of O.N.
Regards,
Anthony
ON was the trigger that made my doctor take my problems seriously, leading to the tests that diagnosed my MS. I lost most of the sight in one eye. About 95% came back over about a year, it has left me with slight double vision on the horizontal. Though worse when I am tired or stressed.
I had an episode of ON last year which resulted in about 50% loss of vision in the central focus area of my right eye (peripheral was ok, but made reading difficult). I resisted steroids due to previous experience with side effects, and let nature take its course. Nothing changed for about 2 months after it first came on, then slowly recovery started. After about 6 months I’d say it was 90% recovered, which is where it stayed…still a little blury but doesn’t cause problems.
