So, since this blog has morphed into something more than just being about Bell's Palsy, let me tell you know about my most recent appointment with the Ophthalmologist. Well, this was for me to have the Visual Field done (a test of the peripheral vision) and a recap of what the Retina Specialist did NOT find. I had the Visual Field done first. This was quite interesting but I had to look through a 'lens' at a yellow dot and identify when I saw the white dots flash all around. It was somewhat intense because I couldn't move my pupil so I had to just STARE at it. (I could blink though).
Once that was done, I talked to the doctor who was somewhat baffled that nothing came of the previous appointment. She said she "wanted it to be Central Serrous" because it goes away. But now that we've identified that it isn't that we're sort of back to square one with trying to figure out what is going on. We also did the "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2, 4" thing to see how much changing the lens would help. Yeah no! She actually called a neurologist (her dad) while I was there to see what he thought of things. He "needs to see me" to be able to really tell what's going on. The doctor suggested I have a "Visually Evoked Response" test done. So tomorrow I have an appointment.
