Hi Raglet:
Since he put back his old glasses (it's the former prescription from two years ago), he has not had one bit of problem.
So now he says "what am I supposed to do, well, I can go on the computer with my OLD glasses, and I'll try and walk around and do a test with the new replacement glasses.
See, the new replacement glasses were to replace the ones that he dropped (and THOSE GLASSES WERE THE ONES WITH A SLIGHTLY NEW PRESCIPTION). but he never had a problem with those.
It was only when he got the replacement glasses and wore them on the first day, and he was sitting on the computer and looking down at the keyboard that this "spell" happened.
The optometrist who prescribed the new ones (2 months ago), told him "I'm going to change the prescription a bit because you go on the computer a great deal of the time". Now after Alan got the Newer glasses (with the slightly changed prescription), there was no problem, no difference, no nothing. So he drops the glasses, the company replaces them, and BINGO, he gets the "spell".
We want to go back to the optometrist and say "these glasses make him dizzy", but Alan feels "gee, I only got dizzy for one second, and I can't tell the optometrist this, he'll probably say "give them a week".
Alan wants to put on the replacement glasses and see what happens. He wants to see if he gets dizzy again. I say "who on earth wants to get dizzy again?"
It's no fun. Especially when you have a history of vertigo.
And the optometrist is not the most FRIENDLY guy if you get my drift.
Not sure what he should do in this case. So far, (with the old pair), he is just fine.
