Has anyone heard of damage done to the optic nerve? I had a root canal and a crown put on a year ago on the left side of my mouth. A week and a half after the procedure, I had an awful headache and lost my vision. I recovered most of my vision after 3 months. Six months later I went to have another crown on the right side. (The procedure was never finished and I have a filling in the tooth) I lost the vision in my right eye 2 weeks after the procedure.
I can't seem to get an answer to this problem. I have been told this vision loss could be an early sign of multiple sclerosis (MS). I do not have MS at this time. I have no other symptoms. My neurologist has said that the dental procedure *may* have caused this, but it is hard to say. I am so frustrated. I think it is weird and suspicious that I lost my vision after a dental procedure.
Has anyone ever heard of this?
