Let me start by saying that I thought that seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist would be a turning point for me, based on discussions with the brain clinic and OT.
Boy was I wrong. Appointment seemed like the biggest waste of time. Spent 3 hours waiting to be seen by someone before dr, he asked some questions and focused only on the 2 times I lost my vision due to stress. Said it was a type of migraine headache, except my head never hurt when this happened. Didn't even discuss any of the other problems that I have with tracking, focus, double vision, depth perception, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, aching/tired eyes, etc. They did less testing than the regular ophthalmologist that referred me did. Told me everything was fine. Frustrated as both brain clinic and OT said that I would likely need additional glasses (i've always been an eye glass wearer) for working at the computer, driving, nighttime, etc. Before TBI I would spend 8-12 hours a day at the computer, now I am lucky to spend that over the course of 2-3 weeks. Just sitting here typing this is giving me a horrible headache. Anyone have any experience or advice? Brain clinic dr didn't seem surprised that they were of no help. |
