Unfortunately, only making very slow progress with my eye problems, where I have uveitis, optic neuritis and slight bleeding around my right optic nerve.
http://www.healthline.com/health/optic-neuritis#Overview1I have been to Frimley Park eye clinic every few days for assessment and treatment, had a blood test for Lymes disease which was negative and have got an MRI scan on Monday. My right eye still has a big grey cloud in the middle of it and also to the right but it has got slightly translucent so I can now see if a bright spot light is on or off when the light is hidden by the grey cloud The only sight I have in this eye is just some blurred left phephreral vision, so I struggle to read the top line of an eye chart as I can't see the right side of it. My left eye is somewhat better with just a slight grey cloud in the lower left peripheral vision and some slight loss in the centre which looks like it has had a coat of whitewash over it, so if I look at a page of text or a PC screen the black writing appears as white gaps where the text should be. Low light vision is virtually non existent, so have to use a torch to see any detail, when looking in a cupboard etc
Loss of sight is obviously debilitating, but the worse part is you know what you see contains much less information compared with normal vision, interacting with the outside world when walking requires much higher concentration so you don't miss things.
The first episode of this in November took about 3 months to recover from and I'm only 2 weeks into treatment this time, but I and my GP did respond much more quickly this time, but the right eye symptoms are still bad, but hopefully with a bit of time I will make a full recovery, but there are no guarantees!
