For example, if I am reading or on the computer....then look up to talk to someone or watch the TV everything is blurry. It takes several minutes (3-4) for my vision to adjust to the new distance.

I too have not been able to drive at night for 2 years now.

BUT, someone explain to me, how all this can be going on, and my last visit to the eye doc....he told me my Optic Nerves looked great!!

I so don't get that!

I've been told that the difficulty focusing when changing from looking up close to looking far away is actually spasms.

I have also been diagnosed with ON early on, but most of the times I have issues with my eyes they can't see it on my Optic Nerve. Until recently. The only way they were able to see it was to measure the myelin sheath around the nerve. I have a large area on my right Optic Nerve that there is almost no myelin left on.
