perlmonger‘s eye is worse than it was, and a routine optician’s appointment this morning found us hurtling back to the Eye Hospital as an emergency.

in other news, our next door neighbours are jackhammering their concrete path; I’m going out somewhere – anywhere – for the afternoon
Oh the poor thing! I suffer from optical neuritis every so often, it is an MS thing but it can also be due to stress/fatigue. Basically the optic nerve gets inflamed, thus the signals can’t travel along it properly hence the deteriorating vision. The best treatment for it is a short dose of high strength steroids. I get a 7 day dose each time I get an attack. My vision usually goes back to normal after about 3 weeks. Might get a bit blurry from time to time if I get over tired or upset.
I hope he feels a lot better soon!
