Default Rethinking Prism Glasses

I just got back from neuro optometrist where I was taught 6 different vision

therapy to improve my vision. I was a little disappointed that the vision

therapist has only been doing this for about 1 month. I came prepared with

questions and hoped to get answers. I was a little hesitant about the

answers she gave as she does not have a lot of experience.


When I was there I asked about the terrible headaches, eye pain, nausea

etc. that I have been experiencing and I was told that I need to cut back

on wearing the prims glasses.


Even after cutting back my eyes are still really sore and I have pain around

my eyes as well as bad headaches, but not as bad as the 2 previous weeks.

I called the office because I did not want to start the vision therapy feeling

as bad as I do and knowing that the vision therapy is going to add extra

stress to the situation, I was told that the neuro optometrist would have to

see me to figure out if I have the right prism glasses or if there is another

issue with my eyes.


The problem is I have lost confidence that these people know what they are

doing, on top of a new vision therapist my original neuro optometrist is now

on maternity leave and I have to see a replacement who just arrived back in

Canada from Berkley.


I have to travel over 5 hours to get to the appointment, and it l can't find a

ride which is resulting in me talking transit (bus, train, subway and 2 other

buses). The total trip is over 7 hours. I really don't feel up to it.


I can read and watch t.v. less than I ever could......any suggestions.
