greta, our posts crossed! Thanks for posting. I hear people talking about the shrinkage and I'm a little envious!

I was hoping to see something in the report because while my neuro-op sure is a keeper, my MS specialist -- well, let's say most everything I've learned about MS has been either from my neuro-op or "on the street". He doesn't tell me very much at all. I don't expect to hear from him and when I last spoke with his office and asked if he wanted me to come in, his assistant said "I'll get back to you". She didn't.

Erin, I believed I had recovered from my ON probably around October (onset was March of '07). My neuro-op follow-up in December showed perfect visual field and although the colors weren't all that easy, I could still get them. (I know I have some residual color saturation loss but it's not bad -- nothing obvious.) So, this follow-up of the optics was a surprise to me. But now I know WHY the radiologist called me last Saturday. Obviously, CLINICALLY speaking, my eye is not 100% better. Very interesting to hear you had marked improvement after a year. What you're saying seems to support the findings in my MRI and what my neuro-op said. If she's right, the MRI should eventually look normal (or very close to it) and perhaps there's STILL room for improvement for me! (My eye feels a little funky from time to time but I am just so happy that my vision is back that I've kind of accepted it!)
