So I went to an opthamologist today and they basically told me that I have no eye issues i.e. double vision, lazy eyes, and that I have perfect vision. However my eyes are still strained 24/7 and they seem to be the last thing to be resolved so far. I assume my eye muscles are injured? or at least very weak and the opthamologist said the only thing that can help me is time.

That being said, is there anything aside from not overdoing my eyes on a daily basis and Mark's supplements I can take that will expedite my recovery?

I was hoping to get prism glasses but the opthamologist told me I didn't need them as they are for people with double vision. Really hoping my eyes can heal soon because I feel as if they are the last thing holding me back from a full recovery.

Also Im still occasionally nauseous is that due to my eyes causing some vertigo like symptoms or something else that's causing that?

Thanks

It may sound silly, but palming could be helpful. The bates method has helped lots of people.

A neck injury and tense muscles can put pressure on the nerves that control the eyes.

Seems to help calm them down during the day, thanks so much. I noticed that I have a bad headache when I wake up and I've concluded that this is due to the fact that the REM stage in the sleep cycle continues to get longer each cycle, therefore right before you wake up the REM stage or when you dream lasts the longest which contributes to a headache right before I wake up.

At the early stage of my recovery I smoked cbd weed and never really had eye strain unless I watched tv and all that, and since marijuana suppresses the REM stage, it allowed for my eyes to not be burnt out by the time I woke up. Also after I quit weed 2 months into my recovery, I've had intense dreams which contribute to even bigger headaches. This makes sense since after quitting marijuana the REM stage comes back stronger than before for a short period.

Just wanted to share my little inception moment, let me know what you think and if it soudns like a good idea to start smoking cbd weed again so I can actually make progress with vestibular eye exercises

Zack,

I went through vision rehab without marijuana just fine.

You need to be assessed by either Neuro Optometrist or Neuro Opthamologist if you feel you are having vision problems.

There are two distinct and separate functions of vision...what you see and interpretation of what you see and a host of complex functions making those happen! You can see clearly as I did post accident but have other problems going on that only the Neuro trained person found. My regular eye guy missed it totally!

Alright will do. Thanks for the advice! Got an appt with a neuro optemetrist next week but was just wondering if the REM stage was basically causing my eyes too be overworked before I even woke up.

In my case I had convergence issues.

Here is a funny one...pre accident I was right eye dominant, post accident I am now left eye dominant, go figure.
