A short documentary looking at the rare condition known as Lebers. It takes a look into the life of a young man who has this condition and explores how it can affect entire families. Please comment with your thoughts about the video. Many thanks.
Oh wow. I also have optic neuropathy but it is not genetic. I got it from testing positive for tb and given the medicine. I did not have any form of tb. I was on the medicine for two weeks and my optic nerves were damaged. It's good to spread awareness of these rare eye conditions.
This is really alarming. I have an eye disorder and Ive seen enough doctors across the country to seriously drive anyone crazy. I'm having my blood tested in a lab across the country and we will see if its Lebers. If it isn't this then the myriad doctors are going to pursue it as though it is some form of advanced glaucoma. Its really very alarming and I still have 4 weeks until the testing is done. Its "flared" up lately and I fear that my central vision will be no more.
