Ophthalmologist Visit

[Lenore58]

I just wanted to report on the exam by the ophthalmologist today. He said everything looks good. Optic nerve looks fine. He agreed (with all of you!) that my visual disturbances are caused by the steroids. He recommended I talk to my optometrist about prism lenses that will help to correct the double vision for the time being, and mentioned that there were some that you could sticker onto your current lenses to avoid the cost of new glasses for something that is temporary. I’m glad you mentioned it, and this I will do. The double vision is giving me worse headaches, and making me feel slightly nauseated and unsteady. But I feel quite relieved. And so very thankful to have this group to turn to. Thank you!

Good, let’s hope that sorts it for you….

Hope it gets sorted.

That’s good but it is a pain! I remember that feeling vaguely motion sick just from walking about because my eyes were being discombobulated.

Oh well done for facing it down, you must have been scared.
