Q: 8-year Old Has Eye-disorder No Cure, Going Blind

8-year old has had troubles with vision for last 2 years. Left 1/10 right 7/10 rapidly deteriorating. Priveous cases all gone blind. Apparently this virus goes together often with rheumatism but not in this case, blood chart shows nothing unusual. Treatment so far with cortisone-drops and shots straight into the eye, no result. Has glaucoma on the left for wich surgery has been done, glaucoma not completely gone. Difficult to treat because there's no blood going around in his eye therefore medication doesn't reach infected area, general eye-nerve is probably infected as well. Please does anyone know of any other cases, treatments, doctors, hospitals..?

Vision Loss
Hi!
I see this message is 3 years old. I hope you get this message. How is your daughter? Has she been seen by a Neiro_opthamologist? I don't know if they could help her or not. I have an app't. to see one in NJ. He is supposed to be world reknowned. Write to me if yopu want further details. I have been suffering vision loss for 12 years and no one knows why. My prayers are with you and your daughter. God Bless!
