post falre w/ON question

jprinz99 · 08-19-2012, 08:07 AM

As you know I had a bad flare with ON in left eye a bit ago. Is it normal for that eye to still be a bit fuzzy, with vision that sort of gets better/worse throughout the day? If this is normal, will it eventually get back to its pre flare/ON vision and how long does this take?

Reason I ask is I need to know when the eye is considred "settled" so I can go for my eye exam to see if I need new lenses in my glasses. I don't want to waste my money at eye doc if it just needs some more time.

Thanks in advance

I think we vary on this. It took me 8 years to completely recover from ON. After that, I was fine for 16 years, then had a recurrence this year in June because of smoke from forest fires. This time, my eye improved more rapidly but it's still not whole, and I did get glasses, after not having had them for a long time. I know what you mean about glasses expense. I paid a pretty good price for mine, having been burned before by glasses made at one of those nearly-free companies.

I took forever for my eyes to even begin to heal, and while I am still on the line of legally blind from the last ON attack, I do have peroids of clarity and periods or dim/fuz vision. its all quite maddening. I just want to see well enough to read a book.

I am seeing a special eye surgeon who specializes in neurologic disorders on 9/11 so, keep your fingers crossed.

Praying for you to heal faster, please.

so in other words I am "normal"

Well, perhaps I should say my eye is acting as expected after this bout with ON. Thanks for eassuring me that nothing out of the ordinary is going on - I just need to give it more time and learn to be a more patient patient.

* for some odd reason this strikes me as the funniest thing this morning!

Thanks all!!!

Eleven years after my first huge flare that caused ON, and I still have double vision when I look to my left. When I am overheated, or overtired, I still get fuzzy vision. Sorry if this is not the answer you wanted to hear.....but I have learned to compensate when I drive, by turning my head. You will compensate too.
