Very little headache, no nausea! I made a point to go home and meditate for 1/2 hour afterward, which really helped, I think. I also stayed off the computer all day.
I was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency--apparently severe, accomadative insufficiency, pursuit eye movement deficit, saccadic eye movement deficit, egocentric visual midline shift, lack of coordination (lol!), photophobia, central-peripheral visual integration deficit, and visual information processing delay. The therapy I am doing involves laying on a rotating table with a light over my face--the color of the light changes depending on the day. I'm on the table for an hour, with a break in the middle during which I do some eye exercises. This lasts for 12 days, after which I take a light box home with me. It is intense, but the doctor seems to really know what he is doing and my physical therapist says she's had patients have excellent results, so I am hopeful! Cyclecrash, I hope you get to see someone soon! |

While I'm on the table, I also wear headphones softly playing "music" that sounds like it's caught between two radio stations. Very weird!
Anyone had vision/sensory therapy like this? |

Doesn't sound anything like my visual therapy. Does it make sense to you (how it was explained)! What did they tell you about it?

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

Apparently what I'm doing is a combo of sensory integration and vision therapy.
