My wife, Marg, saw the low vision opthomologist the other day and he confirmed that her sight problems caused by the damaged optic nerves are the result of several years of MS.
For many years, the nerves from Marg's eye to the brain have been able to compensate for any damage and thus she didn't have any symptoms. But the doc explained that these nerves will reach a certain tolerance point and then be unable to compensate any longer. Fortunately Marg doesn't have any peripheral sight problems at this time.
The doc prescribed 4 different viewing devices which will hopefully allow Marg to retain some quality of life. She gets these devices next week.
