“This Doctor saw me back July of 2024, it's April 2025. He was kind, empathetic and listened. He wanted me to see an Opthalmologist as there was a concern regarding inflammation in my eyes near with my optic nerves. And wanted me to have an OCT scan to scan my Optic nerve area. I was told previously by a different optometrist that they were concerned for Optic Neuritis, prior to seeing Dr. gailing. He said it's either Optic Neuritis or Drusen.
I ended up with Covid for a month and a half and had to cancel that appointment for that scan unfortunately and time got away from me. Fast forward to January 2025, I went back due to me not being able to see very well, which puts my eye exam 6 Months later. I had a different optometrist with this facility Dr. Lasker and while she was kind she said my inflammation went away. I was thrilled, only for a short while. February 18th I ended up with bubbles on my left sclera and redness with it. I am no longer near this area and ended up seeing an Opthalmologist in Manhattan.
I was diagnosed with episcleritis, given prednisolone eye drops, and given another scan in the back of my eye. She warned me to have a MRI of my orbits right away that my inflammation was very concerning, I informed her that this Dr. Said it could be Drusen or ON, she said she is leaning towards Optic Neuritis. I had my scan March 17th. I have optic nerve inflammation and see a neuro opthalmologist soon. I sent her the scans from January 2025 and she ran a new one and compared them. The one recent has more inflammation, but she said my optic nerves were still inflamed in January.
So, I am grateful for this optometrist here! DR. Gailing thank you for being thorough and not brushing me off. If it wasn't for you I would not have had this looked into any further. I appreciate you very much and wish you all the best.”
