Here is something else also about the Double Vision. Doctors prescribe prisms to align the eyes and typically prisms does not fix the alignment. If the double vision goes away, it likely means that the brain is suppressing one eye in order to create a single image. This is often how the double vision is dealt with by the brain when there is an alignment issue.

@visontherapy Жыл бұрын

Thanks for commenting! Glad it seems to be working for you! But here’s the thing: Prism adaptation can be a pain at the end of the day. When it gets worse the individual typically has to do either surgery or vt. They almost have no option left. Why you may ask? Because typically people who require prisms usually have newly developing eye turns. The eye turn as it is freshly starting requires the prism to align images to relieve strain or stop double vision. Then once it’s treated initially it relaxes into more and requires stronger….and stronger….. and STRONGER over time. Hope this doesn’t happen to you. But it’s the general pattern to watch for. That’s why some things that may seem okay in the short term can be landmines later. Thanks for being here and sharing!

No eye doctor has treated me for this & it’s been a process to rule out other health conditions & finding the right specialist. A double vision specialist I seen 4 years ago said he’s never heard of eye turns suddenly happening that you are usually born with it. I found BVD through my own research online & knowing all my symptoms that doctors aren’t connecting the dots with or bothering much to look into more.

The thing is that these are supposed to be temporary. They are just a help for the lazy eye to see normally. Also a set of exercises is prescribed. And then after the situation gets better because of training a different set of prisms is prescribed. And that until eyes start seeing normally and no prisms are needed. In any case that is still better than having an operation that is in most cases purely cosmetic and fixes nothing but also can make things worse.

The problem is the derealisation and depersonalization. Its very hard to function when everything is a hazy dream. Simply blocking off part of my right eye with cardboard starts to result in less visual field stretching and as a result my de-realisation lessens. This binocular condition only started recently after a long period of too kuch close work. Yet thr derealisation is so unbearable that im very tempted to just get prisms so incsn cognitively think and relate to my world.

I’ve had a prism lens for 5 days and it has given me back my freedom and capacity to function. I have a paralyzed 4th nerve (palsy). Thus my doctors cannot train a muscle to work when the nerve no longer fires. So do you still claim that a prism lens is a bad idea and I should return to being unable to drive, read, work, etc?

@visontherapy Жыл бұрын

Hi there. It appears you miss the point being made about how and why prisms are used and why it is often counterproductive in the long run if the goal is better vision and not just a crutch. Now, if you want a quick and temporary fix then you are on the right track. Also, the assertion about 4th nerve palsy is not accurate considering we work with and have help many align their eyes. The fact is the recommendation made is based on what they know and so is the solution presented which is akin to recommending crutches or a wheelchair when the individual can indeed be trained to walk. Ultimately, it still doesn't change the reality about long-term prism use especially since you are only 5 days in. But we are happy for your relief and wish you the best! Good luck.

@vanessatorres2517 5 ай бұрын

Not a bad idea at all, while the nerves arent firing well yet , you need an aid to be able to function and work and earn a living to pay bills everyday or even pay the doctor . . While in the process of healing , prism is or an aid is definitely needed to be able to function . To treat paralysis / paresis therapy is . Stroke patients need a crutch to assist to walk while undergoing rehab /therapy . I think dr julie should consider crutches are still beneficial for daily functionality and healing . Imnobility hampers the healing process.

I went my entire life not knowing double vision wasn't normal. But I've also had headaches 8 days out of 10 for the past 20 years and would randomly go blind for up to an hour from ocular migraines quite often. At 29 (last year) I went to an optometrist on a whim because I got vision insurance for the first time and was surprised when they told me my double vision wasn't normal, and may be the cause of my headaches. My optometrist said my eye misalignment was by far the most severe case he had ever seen in his career. I was prescribed neurolens glasses and haven't had any instances of blindness nor have I had more than 6 headaches in the 12 months since wearing them. My concern about your advice in this video is that "training my eyes to align themselves" is essentially what my eyes were doing for the past 29 years, with chronic headaches and bouts of blindness as a result. How would vision therapy be different and result in reduced eye strain?

@visontherapy 5 ай бұрын

Glad you are finding some kind of relief after that long. But your eyes weren’t being trained. They ran wild for 20 years. Driving a car that’s out of alignment for years will not fix it. In fact only makes it worse for car and driver. Hence vision therapy is not the same as your prev experience. Bottom line is we help the eyes function properly without crutches 🩼(Which is what the prisms are). This therefore eliminates the issues that tend to come with prisms over time. But I’m glad you are better than before!

I already had surgery twice. Once in the 90's, and once in 2021, unfortunately the second surgery did not stick nearly as long and that doctor no longer accepts my insurance so I had to see someone else who decided to try prisms instead of a 3rd surgery to see how they would work for me. As I am on Idaho Medicaid, I don't think we have adult vision therapy here, and even if we did, there is no way Medicaid would even pay for it when they only pay for vision if you have certain conditions such as in the realm of diabetes, strabismus (like myself), etc. The frames the even pay for are so terrible that they literally fall apart and I opted to pay $50 for a pair of glasses online instead to save myself the hassle. Vision therapy would not be something I could afford just for my extremely terrible eyesight that I've had issues with since I was 5 to come back later as I am disabled.

I have an autoimmune eye disease that causes fibrotic scarring of the eye muscles (among other things). Vision therapy helped but only to a point. Prisms allow me to have functional eyesight.

Are the prism glasses 100% the cause of the progression in her double vision? What was the cause of it in the first place? Does this happen in all prism glasses wearers? Or just this one case? This is not enough information and doesn’t help at all.

@visontherapy Жыл бұрын

Hi Sevonne. Good question. In practically all cases daily prism users tend to get a worsening of their eyesight thus resulting in even stronger lens prescription. This is why most docs will tell you that they expect the prescription to get stronger over time. But we do not follow the approach of prescribing prisms and instead work to resolve the underlying condition without needing to make things worse by adding another debilitating factor to it even though it might be a bandaid in the moment. And for those on it already get patients off it. Thanks for commenting. Hope that answers your question.

After being rushed to the ER, I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease, and now I feel nauseous and dizzy all the time, and I have hearing loss. Have you ever heard of a prism triggering inner-ear / vestibular issues like this? Thank you!

My doc told me that vision therapy won’t help me and would make things worse. I was diagnosed with vertical heterophoria. I forget the reason why. I keep asking for a copy of my records but I’ve yet to receive them. I remember them saying that I have a vertical and horizontal misalignment. Any thoughts? I’m currently wearing prisms. They help, but I find myself wanting to take them off throughout the day.

Hi Lauren. It is no surprise they would day that. First off because thats what they were taught in school and secondly because some docs arent open minded to expand their perspective once they graduate and get set in their ways. Yet the facts say differently and as a result we get a lot of patients reporting that their doc is quite surprised at their improvement. Here is one of many such examples copied from our website: After my stroke and loss of peripheral vision, and In spite of my ophthalmologist’s statement that “ It was impossible to regain any sight” my partner convinced me to try the Vision for Life program. After several months, I noticed while walking in the streets that vision seemed “MUCH WIDER” This was a great encouragement in a vision training which I at times felt was not moving forward. This wonderful discovery gave us new encouragement. Two months later, April 2023 the same ophthalmologist who, after executing vision measurements the previous year stated “ I am surprised to observe that your peripheral vision is CONSIDERABLY wider” I told him about your program which he one year ago thought was just a waste of time and money. He encouraged me to continue. A new date for verifications next year is agreed. In the meantime, me and my dear and helpful partner will continue with renewed energy. In the 3 weeks since the last measurements it feels that it has opened up further. We now look forward to each Tursday`s Zoom session with Jill. I am very pleased to recommend this program for anyone in a similar situation. In the world with new “digital meeting places”, Zoom etc, it works quite well to receive follow up and instructions remotely. What I in the beginning turned to out of desperation and not out of belief, actually delivers! With renewed energy, we are now continuing on the journey back to a completely restored vision which I look forward to proving that to the initially skeptical doctors, I would like to recommend Vision for Life for anyone with similar problems. - AR As far as prisms and Vertical H goes, it really isn't fixing your field of vision but instead shifting viable vision over and yes many patients report not liking due to discomfort and often cos they end up bumping into things since it is only robing peter to pay Paul so to speak. You are welcome schedule an online consultation to discuss your case specifics further and what’s possible for you, because Ultimately it’s up to you to decide about your health in-spite of the opinion of skeptics. Thanks for being here!

Thanks for this info! This week, I started to get stabbing pain in my dominant eye and my left eye looks “dead”. I haven’t worn the glasses in two days. Too many headaches, jaw pain. My non dominant eye is now feeling strange, but headaches and jaw pain are much less. My doc now thinks that I either need a different prescription or there’s an underlying issue. I’ve always had amblyopia. Patch as a kid, etc, but never had issues with driving and dizziness until after I had Covid in 2020! I will look into all of this.

It is important to follow the advice of your doc unless you determine it isn’t helping. So while it is not the approach I would have taken if it works for you then your objective has been met at least temporarily. Typically longer term use is more likely to be an issue than short term. If next time they wish to increase the prism then you know something has changed.

I have chronic right shoulder and neck pain, as well as jaw pain on the right side. I think the neck pain began after a car accident in my late twenties or early thirties. I have always struggled with reading because I lose my place constantly. As I've gotten older I have had to switch to audiobooks because reading is exhausting. I mentioned covering my right eye to my eye doctor and that it was much worse than the left. He used a light with a line in it and discovered that either my head is tilted or my eyes aren't aligned.

I really think my prism glasses were a bad idea and made my double vision MUCH worse. I shouldve just dealt with the slight double vision I had before, when my eyes were trying to focus at maybe TV length of 5' away. With the glasses, my eyes got used to looking at the image on the glasses lens only 1" away. Now things look double if they're only a foot away. The glasses were a terrible idea. The optometrist screwed me over with terrible advice. But it's too late now. The damage was already done. The glasses made my eyes cross in more to focus on the glasses, so I basically stare at my own nose now. I never shouldve gotten glasses. They made me worse. I only had a slight double vision before. Now it's really bad. The glasses made me focus on the glasses, so now I'm dependent on the glasses. I was better before the glasses. I shouldve just lived with my eyes how they were. I used to be able to see fine within a room, cuz my eyes were trying to focus at TV distance. Now I get double vision everywhere, even within a room, cuz my eyes are trying to focus at GLASSES distance. That was a terrible decision. I should've done my own research instead of trusting the optometrist. These prism glasses definitely made my eyes much worse. They really screwed up my life. I'm really upset that I didn't do my own research. 😢

I needed prisms for my left lazy eye and also had a bunch of other problems including moderate BVD. I went to a behavioral optometrist, and she persceibed prism for the left eye 3/4 base up and i could suddenly do all my near work really well, reading, staying organized, playing piano, etc. However, she did warn me that my brain can become dependent on the glasses, so that it was VERY important to do vision therapy exercises while I am in the prisms!!!!!!!!!! That way, I was training my brain to not get too comfortable with the lenses! It took lots of effort, but I forced the glasses and the daily VT exercises to work as a team, and now I'm seeing better than 20/20 in both eyes. I'm proof that prisms can work as an assistance tool!!!!!! But not your main solution, so I wouldn't completley disregard prisms, but put VT first. The brain is amazing.

I've suspected that using prisms to correct my double vision was a bad idea. Long story short: auto accident in 2017, severe left eye damage, surgery to shorten/strengthen muscles/tendon, nerve damage that can't be corrected, eye doc put +.5 on one eye and -.5 on the other and the double vision was gone. I think my brain would have compensated, but they keep telling me not to drop the prisms on my next Rx for the past 5 yrs.

Hi Dr. Julie. Thanks so much for your video. Without glasses, I do not see double vision however I do have constant eye strain. While wearing glasses (no prism) I start to see vertical double vision towards to the center and top half of the lens. If I lift up the glasses so my eyes are centered at the bottom half of the lens, the images fuse together nicely and the strain is gone. Why is the double vision apparent only while wearing my glasses? The glasses have been rechecked multiple times to make sure they're made correctly. Also, would the pencil pushups help in for vertical misalignment?

@visontherapy 5 ай бұрын

Well likely because the images are too blurry to notice double without glasses (which assumes you have power in them to see better). Pencil pushups will not correct or improve a vertical misalignment but can actually make it a bit worse. Training convergence or crossing eyes can signal muscles that also work on vertical placement of the eyes and can overstimulate a vertical misalignment.

I don't know if you still see comments on this video, but about 10 years ago, i noticed double vision that got worse the farther I looked to my right without moving my head. No problems looking straight ahead or to my left. I was told to wear prism glasses. A month ago, I had prk surgery and i just have double vision everywhere now. I'm hoping it goes away after my eye heals but I notice that i get a huge jump of it when i look to the right while keeping my head pointed forward. My question is what kind of doctor do I look for to help with the double vision? Again, I'm hoping the PRK enduced double vision clears, but I'd still like to seek help with my pre-existing double vision. My eye doctor always told me there was no way to correct it other than the prism glasses. Do I just seek a different eye doctor for a 2nd opinion or is this a specialist area?

Interesting. My prism is 4.00 out for both sides, which when applied for the first time back in 2020, allowed me to drive with new glasses, without having to keep one eye shut. The problem for me, is that neither my healthcare provider, Kaiser, nor America's Best vision care, would fill a wrap-type frame with my prism requirement. They say it can't be done. Because I cycle, I need a wrap type frame for wind protection. Anyways, I have an appointment this month, and I'm going to take in a new Oakley OX 8027 Crosslink frame. Hopefully the slight wrap can be filled. Thank you for the video.

Hi there, typically the "little" becomes more and more due to a common phenomena called prism accommodation which means your eyes get used to what you started with and requires even more. And logic says it wouldn't be more if your eyes were actually getting better. So ultimately YES prolonged use of prisms will make it worse.

I was prescribed prisms but due to money issues I havent gotten them yet but hope to in the next couple weeks. So I wouldnt say "dont prescribe them at all" because for some they are the only option, especially if they cant afford thousands of dollars for vision therapy.
