I do not have any eye diagnosis yet because I cannot get in to see a neuro ophthalmologist for a long time. I do have eye symptoms, dizziness, etc. I wanted to let you know that they can get better! My blurred vision is not better yet but the extreme dry eye and light sensitivity are much better. Not perfect but better.
one of the causes of light sensitivities is dry eye so I wanted to ask you.... are your eyes dry or sore or red? I use Blink gel eye drops twice a day and have noticed they help. Using them consistently twice a day was important.
I know how frustrating eye issues can be. They lead to dizziness, headache, nausea, anxiety and of course eye pain! I hope you get some relief from your therapy and maybe the eye drops will help!
Take care

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
