Default Post Traumatic Vision Syndrome

Hi,

You can try googling Post traumatic vision syndrome and see if the symptoms fit.

I also have Vision mid line shift syndrome, which is when what you think is the middle of your face is off centre. This may account for parking over too far. I am wearing prism glasses to try and correct this.

I also have convergence insufficienties which when you are trying to read both eyes need to converge to read the print. When I try to read for longer than 1/2 hour my eyes water, burn and I will get a head ache. I do vizual edge therapy on line to help with the convergence issue as well as training to help with visual tracking.

When my eyes are sore my vision is blurred and it can last for days, your vision might seem worst due to the blurring.

To answer your question, I went twice to an eye doctor to be told there is nothing wrong with my eyes.

It was only the neuro opthamologist who new what the issues were. I was apparently a text book case, and yet other eye professionals had no idea.

I still avoid watching t.v., reading and being on the computer too long. It is really boring..... but I really suffer if I use my eyes too much.

Good luck, I would think it would be worth going to the neuro opthamologist just to make sure you do not have any of these issues. I was also told that it can take between 6 months and 2 years for therapy. I have seen other post which site 3 to 5 years.
