Someone please tell the Optic Issues it cannot switch eyes!

On and off since feb I have had optic issues. It was ON in the left side, which went away and comes back whenever I stress, or stare at a computer for more than an hour or read more than a couple of pages in a book. Its blurred vision... not as bad as the stories I have heard from others.

But today for no reason all of a sudden my right eye goes blurry!

Left eye for me since MS diagnose 2006. Right's still nearly 100%. Wish I could say that for numbness/muscle loss :(

As in real estate it is all location, location, location.

As you can see from this picture a single lesion WILL/CAN affect both eyes.

You know you get used to one thing.... grrrr.

But.. Tomorrow is another fun day in the MRI machine! So we will take a look see!

What would be VERY unusual with MS is if a person got bilateral ON ... that is more indicative of a NMO symptom.

I had O.N. a few times. Ice pick pain with eye movement and a central scotoma. There was a big yellowish spot in the middle of my vision that the words I tried to read were blurry in the large yellow spot.

It lasted two weeks, seemed to go away and came back for another week or so. This is how I get it with a few years spacing. Opth doctor says that is mild since vision is not severely effected and it goes away.

I get it in the right eye only. That eye still has problems, a small vitreous detachment with a sheer curtain effect, when I look with that eye only. My vision it not effected with this now, I had the black cob-web effect 1 day.

Bright lights hurt, and make my both eyes tear. I wear computer glare glasses, no prescription, and turn the computer contrast setting to very low. I have a glare screen on the monitor to save my eyes from strain and pain.

Some people get bilateral O.N. at the same time with MS, but it is rare. Maybe what Cherie said causes that.

It can be in both eyes at different times, but not usually at the same time.
