A member asked:
I have optic nerve damage from a pituitary tumor is there anything i can do for my vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My response: Sorry to hear of your optic nerve compression, and I assume most of the difficulty occurred at the optic chiasm. First, make certain no further compression is present. Secondly, confer with your neurologist about visual approaches specific to your problem, and have ophthalmologist evaluate. A medical food MetanX, has biologically active B vitamins, maybe worth a try??? No real proof however!
