Does anyone have any recommendations for a neuro ophthalmologist? I need a second opinion in terms of possible treatments. I was told by my neuro optometrist that I was worst case of Photosensitivity he has ever Encountered.
I live in Columbus Ohio, but I would be willing to travel, so I would prefer it be within a 5 Hour Dr. Has anyone seen my neuro ophthalmologist at the Cleveland clinic? I just glanced at Ohio State's website, and it didn't seem like there was a neuro ophthalmologist that specialized in concussions. I can't do much research because of my recent setback, so I may have to enlist my husband, but I thought I would check with you guys first. Thanks!

I have recovered my cognitive function, and I've overcome severe vertigo through sensory integration therapy. Wellbutrin has helped me escape depression. I have recently had a few stress-related migraines, as well as headaches stemming from eye strain. I'm also dealing with tinnitus, lack of stamina, extreme light sensitivity, and eye pain. Diagnosed with 9 different vision issues: convergence insufficiency, pursuit eye movement deficit, egocentric visual midline shift, photophobia, visual information processing delays, accommodative insufficiency, saccadic eye movement deficit, lack of coordination, and central peripheral visual integration deficit. *First concussion: October 2010. I was pregnant and got rear ended. I associated my mild PCS symptoms with baby brain and blamed my light sensitivity on allergies and dry eyes. *Second concussion: December 2011. I hit my head on a wooden beam, saw stars but did not lose consciousness, and I had very disturbing PCS symptoms but didn't go to the doctor. *Third concussion: August 2012. I caused a car accident as a result of PCS symptoms. Thankfully no one was injured but me. My husband confronted me, and I finally sought help and took medical leave from work. My symptoms worsened, and I developed severe vertigo. *Fourth concussion: November 2012. I was riding in a car with a friend and we were hit head on by a driver who lost control of her car. I didn't have a big increase in PCS symptoms. |
