All my vision specialists tell me that progressives are the worst thing for brain injuries. Even among the non-injures population, many people are not able to adapt their brain to the variety of focal points within each lense. I loved them, but they were so horrible with my injury...but it took the neuro-opthamologists to tell me that.

I have bought 8 pairs of glasses in a year.... First new progresives because the normal optomotrist said I needed them, then single vision reading, distance and sunglasses, and then single visions with prisms and blue blocker tint for reading, computer distance, distance and sunglasses!

I asked this week if I will ever go back to progressives, and the specialist said....when you have a brain injury, you all of the free cognitive space you can get. Why use up space for progressive lenses because it would mean I would have to sacrifice something else (playing with kids, talking with a friend, working, etc.)

It is tough to juggle all of the glasses (have lost a pair and sat on two). Oh well! It could be worse!
