I met an accident around 8 years ago and got my head and the area, close to my right eye, bruised. From then, my right eye vision is dimmed. Around 3 years ago, a doctor (at Asian Eye Institute, Borivali East) told that the optic nerve is damaged and it cannot be cured. Around 6 months ago I consulted another doctor, who said that I have optical nerve atrophy, and suggested to take care of my another eye. I browsed through articles online and got to know that the damaged nerve cannot be healed, and over time it will lose its sight.
I am a web app developer and spend almost 13-14 hours a day on the computer, and almost 1 hour on phone. I have reduced this to 10 hours working on the computer, not on phone. I am a pure vegetarian, 6.1 feet tall, thin, having BMI 16.5 (underweight).
I am facing sever headache and vision problem from past 4 days constantly. I want to know can this be cured or at reduced to certain level? If yes, when can I get an appointment.

At age of 16 yrs,you had got head injury but it seems from your history that it was not serious, how you got starting diminition of vision leading to optic atrophy, could not relate all the findings. At present situation nothing can be done for optic atrophy, please take care of other eye ,have regular check up with ophthalmologist.you should have atleast one consultation with neurologist (D M Neurology) for evaluation of optic nerve of other eye.I can understand your problem but man proposes god disposes.you're having eye strain &headache due to one eye ,try to relax during working hours & try to get work done by your colleagues. Put some lubricating eye drops 4-5 times (Systane ultra), it is must for software engineers because most of them is suffering from dryness (computer Vision syndrome in short called CVS)
