Re: Give prisms, vision therapy a shot
Hi Nin - it is so great to hear about the improvements you have had with your prism glasses. It is easy for me to understand your reservation about lasting results. At first, I felt the same way. It will be a year in November that I have been wearing prism glasses. I am stil at 75% improvement. Righ...

Re: Give prisms, vision therapy a shot
Hi Jane and Adrian, Thank you, Jane, for the information. I can understand your comment about posture, balance, and eye movements. Also, how each of us have a different diagnosis so our vision therapy would be different. I would like to try vision therapy but that is a long way to come and not sure ...

Re: Give prisms, vision therapy a shot
Hi Jane and Nancy, I am so glad to hear how good both of you are doing. My results are just like yours. Stress and fatigue are still a factor, but so much less than they were. I am doing things I haven't done for years and going places by myself without the fear I had for so long. Some days I even f...

Re: Three people have had positive results with prisms.
Betty, I did not realize I had the problem with my eye either. The reason they found mine was because I went to the same doctor as Nancy. They knew what to look for. It took him quite a while to find the problem. He said he just barely caught it. I think it is difficult to detect and unless they are...

Betty,
I also wear trifocals. My prisms are added on the inside (Base In) because my eye turns out.

Re: Eye related movement disorder
Jane, Your explanation of how prism glasses has helped you is just word for word the same for me. I am even, at times, forgetting anything is wrong with me. But then, in certain situations, I can feel the tremors. Even then, they are not as bad as they used to be. I can control the panic better. I a...

Re: Acupuncture
Hello Nancy and all, I found it very interesting that Jane and you both have scoliosis. My MRI also showed that I have scoliosis. Hopefully, through all we are learning, we will be able to find more answers! I am doing much better with the prism glasses. Some days I don't have any tremors and don't ...

Re: Eye related movement disorder
Since my last post, I have been asked questions about my condition and glasses. I feel it might be beneficial to share this with anyone who is interested in trying prism glasses. I have Exophoria in one eye. The strength of my prism is 5. Even though it is only one eye, the strength has been split t...

Re: Eye related movement disorder
After attending the meeting in Omaha, I made an eye appointment with Dr. Skelsey at the Silverstein Eye Center. Everyone there was very excited about having another OT patient. (Nancy, I can't thank you enough for your post. You were the first one to go there and it made my experience wonderful and ...

Re: Medication
Nin, Thank you so much for your response. I am glad you are having good results in getting off Clonazepam to get on another medication. It is great to hear you have found a medication that is giving you better results. I have been off Clonazepam for about 3 years and also went very slow getting off ...

Thank you, very much, for your quick reply and the links for additional information. I read every site I can find about OT.

Re: How is everyone?
Hello to everyone, First I would like to tell everyone how much this site has helped and inspired me. I have been suffering for a long time with this condition and not doing a very good job of accepting what is. I believe now I am able to say I am ready to live and enjoy life. Not the easy life I on...
