I saw this email today when I woke up:
I was interested because I have had optic neuritis for the past 25 years. I was six months pregnant when I was first diagnosed. I was remembering that appointment. It was upstairs from my pediatrician. Dr. Skarf diagnosed me with optic neuritis in my right eye. I was totally concerned because there was a little gray area on the outside rim of my right eye. He told me not to be concerned because he has seen patients with black in both eyes! Mine was just a little gray area.

I haven’t even finished reading this article. I have optic neuritis in both eyes now. I just never would have imagined it would be THIS DIFFICULT 25 years ago?!!!!!
Dr. Skarf has since retired and I see my new neural ophthalmologist on May 27. I haven’t seen what my eyes look like now and I had a visual field test last year. I will get another one next year.
