Eye problem from the last 3 months.. Please help.

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm a 29 year old female and my current weight is 70 kgs and height is 5"3. Roughly 3 months back I felt something wrong with my left eye.. If I close my right eye then there is a blind spot in my left eye. I can see the central area and the side area perfectly but the area between that is totally blank. My right eye is working perfectly well though. I visited an opthomologist who suggested it might be Csr which might be causing this. He gave me couple of drops and told me to try it for a month. After that I was recommended to a Retina specialist who checked my vision and retina and said both were totally fine. He sent me to a neuro opthomologist who told me to get an OCT, BRAIN AND Orbit MRI, B12 and thyroid check up. Everything turned out to be normal. She said it might be an underlying effect of IIH and started me on diamox. It's almost 2 months now but things are pretty much the same. I visited another Retina specialist who is saying its neither Csr nor IIH. I'm sick and tired of going to the doctors and getting different check ups done which btw are expensive and of no conclusion. I don't have diabetes nor any headaches. So even migraine has been ruled out. I also see squiggly red lines in my left eye when I'm under physical stress like in a gym. I'm am so worried about whatever this is might start affecting my right eye too. Please help me.

    Hi

    I know it's really scary when you have problems with your eyes, as I do. However, you should take comfort in the fact that they haven't found anything seriously wrong. It must be very frustrating no knowing the cause though. The squiggly line thing when your stressed sounds like it could perhaps be an ocular migraine? These come and go so I don't think it would explain the other thing you have. If it doesn't go away, I would ask for further tests. All the best x

      Thanks a lot for your help. Yes the squiggly lines go away in like a couple of seconds. Sometimes they appear 3-4 times in succession but after that it's normal again.

    I cannot understand how none of those specialists know what could be wrong. Id too be worried sick. Fortunatley i dont have to pay for my healthcare being from the UK, But the wait ive had to see the eye specialist is disgusting , at least only a couple of weeks now, to discover why optic nerve is enlarged. hopefully they will get you sorted quickly, if they dont get them to admit you soall further testing caould be carried out in a day and your will possibly get the results more quickly.
