Hi Harry -- Sorry to hear about this. I have had the same problem -- and it was finally dx as Optic Neuritis by my nuero after a VEP (visual evoked Potential) --Has she had one of these? The reason I ask is that my optomotrist and optomologist could find nothing wrong. They Could not see the damage because it was so far back on the nerve. (Even though through their many exams I could actually feel it when they shinned the bright light thiny right on the spot that was damaged).

Is it just one eye or both? With me it was just one eye and it hurt when I looked to the left or right--and the color red was really dull out of that eye.

Mine has repaired itself -- I see pretty well now out of both eyes-athough I am bothered by bright lights and florescents. I do have to wear glare proof, slightly shaded reading glasses.

I am glad they have recommended the seeing devices. Hopefully that will help her. Good luck to you both. Gail
