I started experiencing pain with movement of my left eye a week ago. The pain continued for several days and then a fog started appearing. Now, a week later, this foggy sensation has spread to my entire eye and I cannot see a single thing out of it. The most I can see are shadows of things, but I don't know what they are.
I had a visual field test and COMPLETELY failed that seeing as how I saw NO lights whatsoever. I cannot see anything and the closer things get, the worse they are. My eye is painful to the touch and especially when moving it extreme left or right.
I have now been placed on a 3-day steroid course with a 10 day Prednisone taper.
Are there hopes for me seeing as how I have completely lost my vision at this point. I'm afraid I'll never see anything again out of that eye and it is very difficult to only manage with one eye.
I had an MRI done and the results showed inflammation in the optic nerve. I am only 18 years old and am terrified that I have forever lost my vision.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Particularly losing all your vision in one eye and then having it return. I'm praying that the steroids work. I had my first infusion done about 12 hours ago and so far no improvements.
Thank you so much everyone. I greatly appreciate it.
