- My mom just recently went blind in her left eye... How it started she
was going to eye dotor because her left eye was watering and the
doctor give vigamox eye drops to used and that wasn't helping so she
went back and he gave her nevanac eye drops and told her to used them
4 times aday for 3 weeks and within that first week she notice blurred
vision only at night when the light were on she could see fine but if
she walk outside at night she couldn't see and also her eye was
getting red swollen and very itchy so she went back to doctor and told
him her eye was getting worse since she had been useing the nevanac
eye drops her vision would get blurry at night and irriated he run
some test told her she was fine good vision and he told her to stop
using nevanac eye drops and come back in 3 weeks... so she was not
happy with that because she is having blurred vision so she made appt
with a different doctor and by the time she got to the new doctor it
was getting worse and he run test on her he said she has good vision
and give her some steroids to clear up redness and itchy so she went
home and 2 days went by and she could only see out of the corner of
her eye and that was only light so she went back to doctor he told her
that her optic nerve was swollen large and he told her to go to local
doctor and get blood work and come back in one week and that her
vision would not get any worse so she went home and her eye went
completey black she could not see anything but black so we went to er
and he told her she would never see again and to go back to her
doctor the next day and she did and they tested her and said she would
never see again in left eye becuase the retina died and also the optic
nerve in right eye was swollen now. so they put her in hospital for 8
days and run every test on her and blood work after blood work and
done surgery on her eye to take samples out to test it and after all
that they have found nothing so they sent her home with steroids and
the nerve is still swollen in right eye... so we have went all over
for answers and no one know why she is afraid she will lose her right
eye too...so if anyone has ever heard of this please contact me please
we need answers

- I am so sorry to hear about this. If you find any answers please let me know. I have been kinda dealing with the same thing. It started off that i had an infection then I slowing lost my vision in my left eye. I have been to many doctors and they all tell me that i'm fine and everything will get better. Well it has been more that 2 months and no change. I am able to read for a short time and everyday activities are hard.
