Hi guys so I decided to take advantage of walk in eye tests going on a week or so ago and they were extremely concerned about how swollen my optic nerves were or as they called it optic nerve cupping.

My actual vision was tested and was perfect, perfect colour interpretation, field of vision etc.

It was forwarded onto an ophthalmologist which I attended and was recommended I get an mri immediately (well couldn’t actually get in for over a week away). In my case the ophthalmologist has described I could be suffering from what is normally considered a serious and slow growing (large) brain tumour or optic nerve giloma.

Now I’m obviously extremely concerned it may be a tumor as this is apparently the most usual suspect.

There’s a number of causes given to me (Papilledema, IIH etc).

I want to ask has anyone out there had this sort of teat and results before? What was your experience and what was the diagnosis?
