loss of vision in left eye
i'm 27 years old and i have loss of vision in my left eye. had several eye exams taken by ophthalmologist and came to no conclusion/diagnosis. was referred to a neurologist, whom wants to do an mri with contrast. i'm waiting to do this exam but am wondering if i should go to another opthamalogist and get a second opinion. maybe one who is in a hospital rather than a private office...?!? i live in denver, co and am seeking consult and recommendations to good dr's in area. thank you!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Visison loss in one eye can be due to eye causes like optic neuritis, stoke in the optic nerve, damage to optic nerve, retinal tear, retinal detachment, cataract, glaucoma, bleeding into the eye, macular degeneration etc. It can also be due to benign intracranial hypertension, malignant hypertension, multiple sclerosis, and temporal arteritis. A combined approach of a neurologist and an eye specialist is required for diagnosis. Please take a second opinion from another eye specialist and consult a neurologist too. Take care!
