Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
I started having blurred/decreased vision last year which has progressively gotten worse. I've seen three different opthamologists all who can't find anything wrong with my eye health. They said my eyes are fine and not the cause of the problem. I was referred to an neuro-opthamologist and had CT scans of brain and neck and they are unremarkable. The only thing found was some cysts on my sinuses (I have never had any sinus problems). I've had blood work and everything is normal.
Where should I go from here? No one seems to know what is wrong or what to do. I am frustrated to tears because my vision is so bad now. Please help!!
Thank you,
Laura

If you have really stumped a neuro-ophthalmologist (the Sherlock Holmes of eye dieases) then I would ask the neuro-ophthalmologist to refer you to a world class tertiary eye center (there are many in the USA example Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Miami, The Wilmer Eye Institute of John Hopkins, Baltimore) They are geographically dispersed across the entire USA and its unlikely you would need to drive more than 4 hrs to get to one.
