I had RK surgery in 1991 (this was when they cut your eyes, before laser surgery) which gave me 20/20 vision. The Optho/Neuro can't see past those cuts, and when I did finally find him, the flair had passed, so I've yet to be dx'ed with ON. I have residual effects tho that have never left
 I hope your Friend has an easier time, but this is how so many end up in limbo.... There goes my dinner bell  Talk to you later!

I don't think you could get a "true" dx according to the McDonald criteria with only one lesion unless she had two defined exacerbations or maybe a positive LP??
Doesn't mean they can't call her subclinical and treat her though. If she's in denial though then it doesn't sound like there's much to do at this point. I'm multi-lesioned (hah! I invented a new word!) positive LP, but subclinical/infraclinical because I haven't had an exacerbation or symptoms. |

I was dx'd with one new lesion and one old lesion in the frontal lobe of white matter. Along with two episodes of ON and abnormal reflexes.
It does not sound like much to me considering what others seem to have when it comes to lesion load. I have more symptoms than I do lesions.
