Rethinking Prism Glasses
I just got back from neuro optometrist where I was taught 6 different vision
therapy to improve my vision. I was a little disappointed that the vision
therapist has only been doing this for about 1 month. I came prepared with
questions and hoped to get answers. I was a little hesitant about the
answers she gave as she does not have a lot of experience.
When I was there I asked about the terrible headaches, eye pain, nausea
etc. that I have been experiencing and I was told that I need to cut back
on wearing the prims glasses.
Even after cutting back my eyes are still really sore and I have pain around
my eyes as well as bad headaches, but not as bad as the 2 previous weeks.
I called the office because I did not want to start the vision therapy feeling
as bad as I do and knowing that the vision therapy is going to add extra
stress to the situation, I was told that the neuro optometrist would have to
see me to figure out if I have the right prism glasses or if there is another
issue with my eyes.
The problem is I have lost confidence that these people know what they are
doing, on top of a new vision therapist my original neuro optometrist is now
on maternity leave and I have to see a replacement who just arrived back in
Canada from Berkley.
I have to travel over 5 hours to get to the appointment, and it l can't find a
ride which is resulting in me talking transit (bus, train, subway and 2 other
buses). The total trip is over 7 hours. I really don't feel up to it.
I can read and watch t.v. less than I ever could......any suggestions.
