Dear patient,

Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com.

Post trauma optic neuritis can be there which can be a cause of reduced vision , but if you have double vision , this can be because of luxation of globe , which has to be seen & commented , as you have mentioned about orbital / frontal # es also .

I would suggest to physically consult a occuloplasty surgeon.

Hope this helps, please feel free to discuss further with follow-up queries.

Regards


Patient replied :

now i dont have double vision now.....will i be able to see like before. how much time will it take for it. will my scomata go away?


Dear,

In such cases , it is very difficult to get back normal vision , & I am sorry for that as their are not much options available. However you should work closely with your Doctor as we cannot be just sure about a diagnosis.

Thank you

or Post trauma optic neuritis.

Dear Sir,
As I had already mentioned that there are not much options available , scotomas once formed one has to live with it, they might reduce in intensity or size but not necessary that they will vanish / reduce.
