Hi t0g3TH2r,

Welcome!

I think you're suggesting that people with certain visual overstimulation problems will benefit by increasing their usual glasses rx by +.50?

Would any optometrist agree to do that?

I don't have post-concussion syndrome but do have MS, and not recognizing people on the street is just the way I've been for years. It would be nice to see better but in recent years my best corrected vision has been in the 20/40 to 20/60 range.

I would really hesitate to ask for a change in the eye doctor's rx. Maybe you asked the ophthalmologist or the optometrist about this first?

I'm glad if you've had good results with this. It's probably not doing any harm. I'm just saying it's not something I'd want to try.

Not seeing right can lead to falls and can be very dangerous but if you're getting relief from a troublesome symptom by increasing the power of your glasses, that's probably all to the good.
