eye problems
« on: February 16, 2009, 11:43:43 am »
Hi all.
Back from Mexico...I have noticed for the past while that every now and then my vision jumps. Not sure if this is related to the AN. I will be looking at something and for a split second the image blinks. That is the only way I can explain it...AT first I thought it was just me blinking...but then it happened while staring and I know I wasnt blinking...sometimes the image looks overlapped.  Anyone else have this problem? I will be contacting my eye doctor for an appt.

I have strange eye issues all the time. I had double vision after my AN was removed and had double vision surgery about 1 and 1/2 years later and I notice every now and then an object in the corner of my eye. I will look over to that area and it is gone so I can only explain that my eye must be jumping around.

Jo:

I'm sorry to learn about your vision problem.  I have no idea if its related to your AN but that is possible as an acoustic neuroma can involve the 5th cranial nerve, which affects vision.  I trust the problem isn't AN-related and that your optometrist will be able to locate the source of this vision anomaly and correct it.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
