I am so grateful he wrote that book - he describes what I find to be difficult to describe to people. Worth checking out - google to hear a radio interview.

He used a neuro-optometrist in the Chicago area - Dr. Zelinsky at the Mind-Eye Connection (or something like that). As others have written here, her tests seem to be much more advanced than other neuro-optometrists or neuro opthamologists. She seems to get the sensory interconnections - the auditory, visual, balance, etc. issues that have caused me and many others daily suffering.

I am going to try to go to see her and wanted to check to see if anyone else has tried her. The book author also consulted with a neuro-psychologist in the area - Donalee Markus - I am not planning to see her as it is too expensive and I want to see the results of working with Dr Zelinksy.

I have been wearing prisms in my three glasses (reading, computer and distance) for 3.5 years. Prisms have been getting reduced over time, which shows some level of healing. But she has a unique take on the prisms and I am curious (and desperate!!!!).

If anyone has any experience, I would love to hear from you.

For those in the USA, she does take some medicare or insurance things, which could help with payments. It doesn't apply to me but I would pay anything for improvement. Don't want to be scammed though!

I really recommend the book - and I really recommend that every health care person I (and all of you!) have seen for mtbi / concussion read it. He was like me (and millions of others) - dismissed by so many medical practitioners - including neurologists - no one really gets this injury, which is horrific. I call it the injury that keeps on giving!

healing thoughts to you all.
