Thanks for your comments about the Mayo clinic. I'm the one who wrote recently about my 17-year old daughter. We just got back from Johns Hopkins, and the neuro-opthalmologist said that her vision problem is definitely NOT psychological/subconcious or faking. She does have some kind of damage to her brain that is prohibiting it from processing what her eyes see. Her eyes themselves are fine, but she tests poorly(but the same every time,) on her visual fields--this is why they say it is not conversion disorder, but damage in her brain. They say only time will possibly fix it. We are organizing to go to Mayo next, can't give up yet. (She's been blind for almost three months now, with minimal improvement.) Let me just add that neuro-opthalmologists, specifically Dr. Pelak in Denver, make me crazy. For someone who's supposed to be so smart, they seem to be seriously lacking in both social skills and actual common sense.
I'm Luna.
