In 2009, Nakivia visited Dr. Andrew Kraft’s office in Enid, OK. During her visit she received information about Optomap and had her first screening that day. In May of 2013, she decided to have another Optomap done to see if there had been any changes in her eye pathology. The comparison between her 2013 results and previous screenings showed that her optic nerve was bending and there was hemorrhaging of her blood vessels. Within 4 hours of receiving her Optomap at what was supposed to be a routine exam, she saw Dr. Barry Pollard, and received a specialized MRI.
The results of this MRI showed that Nakivia had a substantial brain tumor that was causing the optic nerve damage and hemorrhaging. Nakivia received her surgery and eight months later, she is not only alive but her vision has improved by more than 50% without corrective lenses. Nakivia’s doctors suggested that without the immediate attention based on the results from the optomap exam, she would have most likely had a stroke or seizure within a few months.
