How do you know if you're a candidate for prism lenses or blue lenses?

I think my insurance is going to cover the vision therapy, but I'm looking for relief as soon as I can get it so I would be willing to try anything.

One quick thing that I did not see mentioned. I had/have all the same difficulties you listed. I actually used many of the tips listed by xanadu00 to help make my PC experience better.

One thing that I did not see mentioned that may be worth experimenting. I had compact fluroscent lights throughout my house and was advised to get rid of them by my behavioral optometrist and switch to regular incadescent bulbs. It made a huge difference when watching TV or computer. Something in regards to the dip in the color spectrum (green if I recall) for those types of bulbs that your brain cannot compensate for properly. Trying to remember what I was told so it could be incorrect.

At work now where I have that awful commercial lighting, I just have a table lamp above my space with a regular bulb and it helps alot along with f.Lux and workrave mentioned.

Just a side note, I did 5 months of vision therapy. Had another injury which upset my eyes again and had to do 2 more months. It made a huge difference, I also now wear a pair of prism glasses at work for my computer. I still get some issues in very busy public places (Costco, etc...)

Good luck!

The neuro had me try on some prism glasses of varying degree and had me walk back and forth and report symptoms. Since it was almost impossible for me to walk and triggered headaches, she knew to start with blue tint.

I don't think there are many Dr. Qualified to do this sort of testing. It's worth flying to a place that does this.

My insurance covered 70% of there evaluation(400$) but I paid 300 out of pocket for frames and lenses.
