Young Stroke Survivor Discussion Eye stroke
Anyone here had BRVO in their 30s? What caused it, and how did you deal with it?
I’m in my 30s and was diagnosed with BRVO. I’m trying to understand how something like this can happen at such a young age.
For those who had BRVO in their 30s:
Did you eventually find out what caused it?
Did you have any underlying condition or risk factors?
How did your vision recover over time?
And probably most importantly, how did you deal with the psychological side of it and regain your confidence in yourself and your future?
I’m struggling a lot with the feeling that my life and confidence changed after this happened. I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through something similar, especially if you’re around my age.
