Since I have been struggling with my eyesight, every single person in the entire world has said "go get your eyes check by a Nero-eye Doctor or in professional terms (Neuro-Ophthalmologist.)
Today, we met with Dr. Peter Savino, at UCSD Shiley Eye Center.
Both Paul and I like him very much. He did his doctor thing and asked a whole bunch of questions. He was great because he actually had answers for my vision issues.
Basically, I have had eyesight problems since the Gamma Knife treatment on the 2nd. Blurred vision is what I call it. However, I know better since I almost ran a 14 year boy down with my shopping cart at Costco.
The Dr. indicated that I have limited vision on my right side. Hence running down young children. The cause could be from the Biopsy or from the initial radiation treatment. Both Paul and I think and hope it is from the radiation. The Dr. said if the poor vision is from the biopsy; it is not a good situation.
After our eye doctor appointment, we headed to the SD Cancer Center for Marni's Radiation treatment. When we arrived we had been pushed back beause we missed our orignal appointment. So we met with Dr. Rose, and explained Dr. Savino diagnosis...
Dr. Rose thinks the vision probelm is from the Gamma Knife but we wont know for certain, it could be up to a year before her vision comes back, if ever...
Dr . Rose drew a diagram for us...
A little tough to read. But just below the left eye is where her tumor sits....Hopefully, not that big!
