I'm doing traditional vision therapy and my eyestrain and light sensitivity is only getting worse! I keep improving in terms of the exercises I've been doing and tests that my doctor has done, so why is my pain only getting worse? On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at a nine in terms of pain. I can no longer watch TV or really do anything without causing an increase of my pain. I'm supposed to drive two hours tomorrow to visit family, and I don't think I can do it. It's such a bummer!

The recent downturn occurred after my last vision therapy appointment. Then the following day I went to the doctor so I could get prism sunglasses finally, and he ran some tests on me, which were hard on my eyes. I felt terrible the rest of the day, and even worse The next day. Today, I just tried to do next to nothing, but even that is causing me pain.

When I started my therapy, my pain was at about six on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm just now afraid that I'm never going to get any better and I'm just going to keep getting worse. I stopped doing my eye exercises until I can talk to my doctor, but I'm just wishing I could research why this is happening and what to do about it.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated! What can i do or take to make this pain go away? Is there surgery or other therapies to deal with this kind of severe eye strain? I'd do anything to make it stop. Conciseness would also be appreciated, as I'm only writing this using voice to text and have trouble reading anything at the moment. Sorry I wasn't concise though! I tend to be long-winded when using voice to text!
