vision problems - looking for articles

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I don't post often but do receive the emails in digest form each

day. I am decompressed (2002) and detethered (2006) and several

other surgeries for other unrelated things.

I'm currently battling a couple of things. One of which I think I

have under control - nerve pain in my legs. I have worked that out

through physical therapy and walking on the treadmill. . .how that

happened was through the good hands of my physical therapist (she is

a Saint and a good friend of 7 yrs) and my trusty treadmill and the

grace of God.

But I'm still trying to figure out my vision issues and my poor

Optomatrist (sp?) is I know searching and reaching for answers. He

has decided to try " vision therapy " . Here's the deal:

Left eye: near-sighted

Right eye: far-sighted

Prism: so bad that if I had the full prescription it would be

unbearable to wear the glasses (that's what he said)

And then something else he says and I can't remember. . .

I can't drive at night anymore and

Ocular migraines

Abnormal oculomotor studies

I had the field vision test done twice about 6 months ago and failed

it twice but not in the same way. . . both times I failed it but in

different areas of the grid. . ???

It's very frustrating for both myself and the poor eye doctor. I

think he referred me to another eye doctor for vision therapy because

he doesn't quite know how to help which is a good thing.

Can anyone else relate to this?

Thanks for your help in advance!
