How Can Pressure And Pain In The Eyes Be Treated?
I had sx of ocular neuropathy Nov. 20th. By 29th I was totally blind in the affected (right) eye. There was some concern over increasing pressure in both eyes and a quick CT with contrast on Dec. 2nd showed nothing but the ON and i began a prednisone regimen which helped 100% with the pain which is a pressure i felt in my face; even my teeth hurt!. My MRI on Dec. 13th had no leisions; showed only my ON. Today is Dec. 21st. I have no visual improvement at all, and without the prednisone i still have pain. My eye Dr. believes thus is an isolated incident and there's no need for a neurologist. Since my vision loss so bad and I'm not improving, should i see a neurologst for a second opinion?
