Default Neuro optometrist

Hi HopefulMom,

Your daughter is lucky to have so much support! I think your instincts about her eyes could be a good one. On a fluke I went to see a neuro-optometrist who is part of the FNORA organization. She prescribed prismatic glasses that made a huge difference in how much I could read and use the computer. I am also less sensitive to light and motion with these glasses. My doctor is in the Chicago area but her website has useful links. Her name is Dr. Zelinsky. I have had PCS for 2.5 years and I have tried everything that seems like it could be helpful: 4 different neurologists (I like the one I am with now), acupuncture, massage therapy, 2 different chiropractors, myofascial release, cranial sacral physical therapy, pt using the Makensie method, supplements, pure organic diet with no processed food, sleep doctors who diagnosed sleep apnea (I now use a c-pap machine). Of these things I would say the prismatic glasses have been the most helpful. I keep looking for a magic bullet. Every brain injury is different so what has worked for me might not work for your daughter. Good luck.
