Superior Oblique!

I had an appointment with the consultant at the specialist eye clinic, just before Christmas, and he’s referring me for an MRI! I’m slightly nervous, but I also can’t wait to find out what’s behind it all. This year I will get answers!

They did so many convergence tests. I had to look at a picture on the other side of the room, from unimaginable angles 😀 My superior oblique isn’t working properly.

Superior Oblique is the medical term for the 4th cranial nerve. The nerve that controls upward and downward movements of the eye. You had ONE job!!

All going well I am having squint surgery later in 2020 to help my eyes to work together … & the rest depends on the MRI findings.

In my 30s, married with 2 kiddos. I have a few eye conditions - Trochlear nerve palsy (CN IV), Nystagmus and Ocular Torticollis. Plus a few other Neurological symptoms that may or may not be connected. I've started this blog to document my struggles whilst I try to find the underlying cause. I hope to connect with others going through the same things, but until I know what that is, my blog will be a mish mash of random symptoms. Please subscribe and interact with my posts :-)
