Guest guest Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Our eye appt is scheduled for April; I will let you know what we find out. When my son was very young we took him to the eye doctor because he was using his peripheral vision a lot. The doc at the time told us " it was not an occular problem. " It was neurological. Another doc recently told us the reason my son's eyes don't track right and the reason he closes one eye to look at things, is due to brain damage. Things are fuzzy unless he closes 1 eye. > > My son said that he looks at walls (or large spaces), because looking at my face makes the wall behind me blurry. then if he looks at the wall, my face is blurry. he'd rather look at a large wall, where that is not a problem. he also said cartoons are easy to watch, because they don't have the 3D effect that something is closer than something else. > has anyone experienced this? do prism glasses help this? i researched > opthalmologists, so I will contact someone tomorrow; but so many times the " professionals " don't know nearly as much as the moms (and dads) who are the real professionals. Any ideas? > and i added cod liver oil (i guess the A is good for eyes) > Martha > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Go to www.nora.cc to find a vision specialist who can help with this. I had taken my son to a pediatric opthamoligist at one time who said he was fine. We knew he had problems. Finally a vision specialist from this group found many problems and he is doing so much better. It made such a difference in sports and balance.sallyFrom: healme42 To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Sun, November 21, 2010 11:38:57 PMSubject: vision My son said that he looks at walls (or large spaces), because looking at my face makes the wall behind me blurry. then if he looks at the wall, my face is blurry. he'd rather look at a large wall, where that is not a problem. he also said cartoons are easy to watch, because they don't have the 3D effect that something is closer than something else. has anyone experienced this? do prism glasses help this? i researched opthalmologists, so I will contact someone tomorrow; but so many times the "professionals" don't know nearly as much as the moms (and dads) who are the real professionals.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 February 18, 2012 Combination of Omega-3 Fatty-acids and Vitamin A May Slow Vision Loss Retinitis pigmentosa is a debilitating disease that usually leaves people blind by the age of 60. It starts with night blindness in the teenage years, progresses through loss of peripheral vision, to tunnel vision, and finally to blindness. Researchers at Harvard University believe they have found the first effective treatment for this condition. Read more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
