Hi! I've been "away" for a little while too -- so many therapy appointments!!!

Anyway, I was sent to an eye specialist under the recommendation of the occupational therapist. My eyes have changed since the accident.

I have a new Rx for glasses (my sight has changed in the 5 months from my previous check).

Depth of field is limited
peripheral sight is limited
eyes track differently: left eye tracks higher and the the right, left lower and the the left.
I was seeing slightly double, but it was not noticeable until I got the new glasses.

I will start vision therapy next week (I believe).

Esthersdoll: startrek. Yes!
