I have been having a lot of blurriness in both eyes. But, my right eye (the one where I had optic neuritis) is worse than the left. I made an appointment immediately. I was terrified it was ON again.
They did several tests. I did well on the visual field test. The dialated my eyes and couldn't see anything wrong. She told me it comes with age and to wear reading glasses.
Right before I left, the neuro optho decided to perform an RNFL (retinal nerve fiber layer) test to see if the thickness of the optic nerve was OK.
The doc was very suprised that I had a loss of thickness. She said she didn't expect those results b/c I have been on Avonex since 2008. She thought the DMD's would keep the optic nerve thickness in check.
They say this is a new procedure. The doc wanted to do it b/c they are usuing this test more and more for MS pts.
I was told that in 2009 my OD WAS 94. Tuesday, it was 79. I'm not really sure what any of this means. I see my MS doc next monday, so I hope he can help me understand these results.
Anyone else had or heard of this test? Am I eventually going to be blind in that eye? Could it be the beginnings of glaucoma?
