I have prism lenses and do daily vision exercises coupled with weekly sessions at the Binocular Clinic.

The first 2-3 months my pain was intolerable, often triggering migraines. I took tramadol for the migraines, and sometimes I had vertigo with migraines. No fun.

I was told to work towards threshold, but not to put myself in pain. I would ice, take advil and rest my eyes to manage the pain.

Now in month 5, I have tapered off from daily to three times a week exercises. I need to drive my sons around, and I couldn't with daily exercises.

Then two weeks ago, my son was in the hospital with a bacterial infection and a good friend passed away from metastatised breast cancer, so I took a two week break from all eye exercises and clinic.

Last week I went into the clinic after this long break, and I didn't have a migraine after the session! And I haven't had one doing my exercises!

For me, I have learned to not work too hard and not to worry too much. There are days when I only read and look at the computer for 1 hour total.

So I walk, bake, try to talk with my sons. If I don't rest my eyes, then, as Mark says, my symptoms flare.

What does your neuro-ophthalmologist say?
