I was thinking about how my ECHO improved since having CCSVI treatment and being on Diamox and it got me thinking about how at my eye appt things were improved also. My vision is a little beter and the astigmatism I had in both eyes is now gone. ??? Can that happen from a reduction in pressure in my head,eyes, vascular system? Dr. Diana?

My pressures went down also, but I expected that from being on the Diamox. =) I figure that can only be a good thing, since my grandmother had glaucoma and my dad has low pressure glaucoma (that took part of his visual field before they were able to DX it).

My doctor noted drusen in both eyes but said that it is a common finding in patients with EDS, so he wouldn’t worry about it. If I didn’t have EDS he would be concerned about macular degeneration. Then I read Dr. Driscoll’s EDS Eye Dr. appt handout and it states that EDS’ers maybe more prone to macular degeneration. So, now I’m confused.

So, some things improved, but now I have drusen. Hmm.
