hey all,
one more potential tip/placebo. thanks to todayistomorrow, i ordered some blue tinted glasses, hearing they might ease eye strain/lessen stimulation. my neuro-chiro said that is the case and red does it even more, but i have a feeling red would heighten my anxiety  i noticed an almost immediate reduction in eye strain when i put these babies on...and i'm a pretty skeptical person who notices every little pain that passes through my bodies orbit. they're not dark enough to use much outside on these bright, beautiful september days, but i use them quite a bit inside. if someone finds darker but still truly blue tinted sunglasses (not just reflective), let me know http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel. Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements. Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses. "You will encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

I put a blue transparent file divider over my laptop screen and that had been helpful.

My neuro opthamologist insists I wear blue blocker in my glasses. Blue light is the most difficult for the brain to process so cutting some out frees up brain space for other things.
At work I am going to try a BENQ monitor. Check their web site where they talk about vision and monitors. Not too expensive. Seems worth a try!

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

I am waiting to try this company. I have spoken to the women who runs it. She is here in Ottawa and is the only one in Canada and she does not think there is anyone the same in U.S.
She got all of her equipment from UK. I believe it was Dr. Alexander (probably I am wrong), who she was following there. She will try several colour shades to see what calms you the best. She also has a program that will change your computer screen to the best colour for your brain. I found her interesting to talk to. I believe the cost was $700 and then you would need to purchase the glasses.
