Anyone with an older child with an optic nerve coloboma?I have a 3 year old with a lazy eye and an optic nerve coloboma in her left eye. We've had her vision tested and it looks good now. She doesn't have peripheral vision in that eye, but it doesn't seem to effect her. I'm wondering if anyone has any older children (10+ years ) that have this same condition and if so, if they are having any vision issues. I know that every kid is different, I'd just like a general idea of things to expect in the future.
Thanks!!!

I am 24 and I was diagnosed with optic nerve coloboma when I was 3. It has a little affect on my sight, I am 20/40 in my right eye and was told that it was probably as good as it gets with my vision having that. My periphail vision is very weak but it has not stopped me from playing sports, getting a driver's license, or working. To be honest I never even knew I had anything wrong til I was in the third grade when I got glasses. Just keep an eye on it and have pictures taken every few years of that eye to make sure there is no change. I just had new pics of my eye and the only thing that they have found new is some arterial sheething and stretching of my macular. Other than having poor periphail vision, nearsightedness and an astigmatism i see fine with the help of glasses or contacts. Hope this helps.
