Any Advice?
My best friend has been having issues with her right eye. She said that at first it started with floaters in her vision 24/7 and a neuropthomologist told her it comes with aging (my friend is 21).
Later she noticed that everything appears to shake in her words "it looks like I'm in an earthquake everything just shakes". Then she said she sees flashes of blue and sometimes gray. When she wakes up her vision is either shaky or cloudy like a white gloss is over her eye.
Now she says the pain is so bad that it keeps her awake and the longer her eye is open the more it hurts. At first I thought eye strain because she writes on the computer a lot but she says her eye fatigues even if she hasn't used a computer for days. Her right eye seems tired. She's even considered having the eye removed because it hurt so bad.
Her eye doctor gave her eye drops and accused her of trying to score pain meds because her eye looks normal my friend did not go back. Another eye doctor said somehing is wrong but it may be neuro. Now she cannot handle light inside or outside and wears sunglasses all the time. Something is wrong. Any one have any idea what this could be or what route she should take in trying to get help? I really don't want her to lose her eye.
Alright, we went through the ER and got an emergency appointment with a neurosurgeon who consulted with a neuropthamologist and they suggested surgery a chiari surgery on the base of her brain but they are less than 50% sure it will help the majority of even half of her symptoms they suggest the surgery and "see what happens" Because a lot seems unrelated. MRI showed the chiari but not really her eye they only focused on her brain and spine.
