The blue light filters is the same idea but it won't make as a difference as the glasses will. It sounds like voodoo but the science behind it is legit and for me was a life saver. |

I'm still waiting for my vision therapy but im wondering if this is 100% correctable and has anyone had any experience with actual vision therapy for convergence issues?

He did one simple test - it blew me away - indicated problems that no one else had seen - doc, neuro, optomotrist, chiro etc.. If anyone is interested - e-mail me and I will explain the test - you can do it yourself and determine if you have vision problems. My eyesight was perfect - it was my vision that was not - and not many know the difference and how to test for it. GB |
