Default Residual vertigo and glasses

I just wanted to post this in case it helps someone else.

I've had some residual vertigo for a number of years after a fall and concussion. It's improved significantly over time, but some days I've still found the episodes very debilitating indeed.

Anyway, long story short, I've been wearing graduated lenses (short and long) for years. I recently got new glasses and decided not to go with the graduated lenses this time. I wanted two separate glasses to see how it would go. The optometrist tried to talk me out of them saying I would most likely find them very inconvenient. Truth is, I'm finding them so much better.

I especially find walking around so much better with my new long distance glasses. I'm thinking that with the graduated lenses I was bobbing my head up and down all the time attempting to find the balance in distance between my short and long sight. I also feel the graduated lenses were affecting my peripheral vision.

Hope that makes sense.
