Hello,

I have a friend whose daughter is experiencing difficulties with her vision
condition.  By this I am not looking for one of the many various ways of
referencing blindness.  She can see too well to be legally called blind, but
one of her eyes has been the cause of some consternation.  This is how my
friend describes her:

***

she has optic nerve damage and nystagmus
her damaged eye was shut down when she was a toddler
her central nervous system turned the eye back on two years after the 
better eye was weakened from the stress of working as an artist
she has terrible tremors from this and has never taken medication
she would be open to speaking with anyone with similar challenges and 
would be open to seeing an optical neurologist.

***

1. Is there anyone hear with a similar experience who could speak to my
friend or know of someone who might be willing?

2. Is there anyone in the DC area who could recommend a neurologist?

If so, please e-mail me off list so that I may put you directly in touch.

Thanks in advance,

Joe
