I found out at my optometrist appointment that my neural ophthalmologist is retiring. I first started seeing him 21 years ago when I was pregnant and that was when my right eye was diagnosed with optic neuritis. I saw him again almost a decade later, because my left eye joined the optic neuritis party!
I will say that I am at a little bit of a loss here! First, my neurologist retired, and now my neural ophthalmologist is retiring. I am going to a specialist on August 18 and I was looking at the appointment in MyChart. I am labeled as a ‘new patient’?!
Unfortunately, NO part of MS at this point constitutes me being a ‘new patient’ because I have been dealing with it for way too long and it’s starting to get serious! I bet this new doctor is young and I will have to school him about MY MS!!!
