Without a doubt, get yourself to a Neuro-Opthamologist or a Neuro-Optomitrist pronto! I just started my first day of vision therapy today. I waited far too long before getting my vision checked by the right kind of specialist. Don't waste time! Deficits in my vision--I think there are 9 different things wrong with my vision, so I can't remember what they all are--are causing the majority of my remaining symptoms, so if I can get a handle on the dizziness and eye strain, I'll be good to go!

The prism glasses don't work for everyone, just so you know, and they are like crutches. They help you cope with the symptoms so you can get by, which would be helpful in your case! The vision therapy can potentially help you actually get better, but I guess it has better results for some than others! I'm just praying it works for me! Good luck to you!

When I was at my therapist today she said it would only take a minute to test me for convergence insufficiency. It was positive. She said I should she a specialist. But remember I'm on workers comp and it takes months to get treatment approved. At least I can understand my problem and know what to ask for. Thanks everyone. Keep the advice coming.

I agree with geting yourself checked by someone who has the expertise.
I wear prisms (up and down and side to side)... They take a load of your brain AND they also promote neuroplasticity....ie making new pathways to encourage the eyes to function better together. Made a HUGE difference in my life.
Good luck!

I am working with a team at HCMC in Minneapolis and they sent me to see a neuro opthamologist (Dr. Marian Rubenfeld). I had convergence issues as well and a bunch of other issues (saccades, tracking, nystagmus.... I could go on). So far the prisms are making me more naucseous.... (I hope this is just a temporary adjustment period thing). I am absolutely miserable. Constant dizziness, nausea, and a sense of being off balance for 7.5 months. I guess I was hoping for a miracle with the prisms

My neuro-opthamologist said that prisms would be too much for my visual system to handle(my converge issues were really bad) and would make me feel horrible so she prescribed glasses with blue tint which made a world of difference for me. I would check to see if this is an option for you.

I had the same advice from mine. However, the idea is that I use these for 3 months to see how if I improve. Then it may be a different prescription with / without prisms

Funny
My favorite sun glasses have a blue tint. I'll wear them more. Thanks

Hi Su seb....

Re the blue tint: I understand that you need to block the blue light, which is the most complex for the brain to process. To do that you need to wear blue blocker sun glasses. The blue tint does not block blue, as far as I know, so you need amber tinted lenses.
Hope that helps! Others may have thoughts on this.
