Angry Optic Neuropathy
Anyone have this? Have you seen pictures of your optic nerve? I officially have glaucoma from my inhalers and will have to go on medication if it continues to progress in next 6 months. I can't help but wonder if its just the same swelling and neuropathic symptoms I have other places. The side view of my nerve had swollen areas. Im not exactly sure of the difference between glaucoma and optic neuropathy.

Yes, my eye doctor showed me once. So interesting. It was fine.

I really hope your nerve will be ok next time it is checked!!!

I have cupping of optic nerves that caused my ophthalmologist to put me in the category of "glaucoma suspect." My intra-ocular pressures have always tested as normal. The timing of this situation with the onset of polyneuropathy makes me strongly suspect that damage was done to my peripheral nerves and optic nerves by the same causal factor(s).
