Can Spinal Cord Problem Cause Vision Problem?
My 17 year old niece was seen by an Optometrist today and the Dr. believes she has spinal fluid causing increased pressure to the eye, the office scheduled her for a f/u appointment for six mos. out. I am wondering if she should have been referred to an ophthalmologist for treatment or a second opinon?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with raised intra cranial pressure.
This requires examination by ophthalmologist to rule out papilledema. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
