Thanks Dan, for your video. I also have optic atrophy, diagnosed around 2002 as well, though no one knows what the cause is. I actually feel more 'blind' when using the cane. Staying independent and keeping in touch with people with a similar disability is very important.
Hi Maya, I have been told that my vision will slowly deteriorate over time but not completely go blind. Yes, it does worry me on occasion but I keep busy and positive. I have about 20% but last year I went to Europe by myself (from Australia) so it isn't all bad. Take care Maya 😎
Just lost my right eye to anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and I'm trying to figure things out. I still have my left but I'm terrified of losing my left.

Hi there. Did you start to lose vision as well? I also have mild optic atrophy but my doctor doesn't know the cause of it. I am a little worried
