Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hello everyone, I am an need of a referal in the Portland/Seattle area. My friend's mother is suffering from what seem's to be a one-sided nueropathy of the optic nerve. She reports a large blackout of most of her vision in one eye. It was preceded by a long bout of stress and rising blood pressure. The loss of vision happened suddenly, with the blood pressure dropping afterwards. I don't have much more information, since I have never met or spoken to her. The biomed docs have ruled out any tumors and diabetes complications from the diagnosis. She is scheduled to visit a nuero-opthamologist next; but she wants to give chinese medicine a serious try. Any eye specialists out there??? thanks, matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has written a book about ocular diagnosis and treatment for all kinds of conditions but because of her connections to the eye people around here send her their complicated eye patients. I don't have her phone number here, I will look for it in my office tommorow. Good luck, Jill Likkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
