PCLearner...I sent you a private message.

I am a patient of Dr. Feinberg's (dr.debby). Having suffered a tbi almost 3 years ago, last year I found a YouTube video that explained the vision issues associated with brain injury. (penelopes story) The video was "me".. All the symptoms I was having. I couldn't believe there was a doctor that understood and treated this. I filled in the questionnaire on Dr. Debby's web site and she called me shortly after. Long story short, my husband took me to Detroit (she's in the burbs) and after the most extensive eye exam I've ever had, she prescribed prism glasses that immediately improved my issues. Because of my brain injury, I've had to have multiple visits with Dr. Debby and each lens "tweaking" has helped. She's a wonderful caring doctor who understands the issues associated with brain injury. I'm also seeing a functional neurologist ( Dr. Scopelitti) in long branch, nj. He's also been great in dealing with my unbalance & vestibular issues due to the tbi. Good luck to you!


QUOTE=wtrpk;745798]I am seeing a dr in NJ monday ..hoping he can help.

I read a few blurbs here about them and I understand that Dr. Debby Feinberg in Michigan is the guru on post concussion using prism lenses.

Has anyone had any success with them??

Tell me anything...and any questions I might want to ask the dr monday.

THANKS GUYS![/QUOTE]

Glad to hear you're trying the prisms! Hope they do some good for you. My hub has a prism on left lens of glasses. (TBI 1/30/11). He got the prism in June, I think. He benefitted immediately, but can't describe how! lol He just knows it "seems more right" with the prism on.

Best of luck to you! Keep us posted...

I spoke with Dr. Debby a few times...but being in NJ I saw a dr. out of Ringwood who did a different type of prism lens. It didn't seem to do me much good.

tell me more about the neurologist in Long Branch. I'm curious to know what he is doing to help you. I'm in northern NJ...where are you?
