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.
