Sorry to hear about your condition.

The only thing I could say to you is it sounds like a specialist is needed.

My eye doc says I have small or thinner than normal optic nerves, yet I don't have glaucoma in my family nor any eye issues, yet my vision is 20/20, what stinks is I have to see him every 6 mos for 2 yrs and then he will throw the book at me.

So far my optic nerves haven't gotten smaller and he says it's looking good, however I have to see him once in April, then 1x every 6 mos for a year.

He also said some people were born with small optic nerves. I'm 41

Back to you, I'm a big Ice Hockey fan and concussions are par for the course, please be careful when it comes to head injuries, and anything to do with your sight.

Don't over worry, the anxiety it causes won't help any, just see a specialist whom deals with similar injuries, and if you feel your injury is "unique", there are doctors that deal with strange injuries and strange reactions from an injury.

Exhaust all your options, second opinions are not just a good thing if a doctor gives you bad news, you are your best advocate.

Get some tests done, travel to get the best care if need be.

I wish you the absolute best of luck!
