STROKES AND YOUR EYES

Thanks for giving us this opportunity to let others know our story and hopefully help give someone else some ray of hope in seeing with prisms, after having a Hemorrhagic Stroke. I am writing this as my husband has been working toward his continuing goals with my assistance. After 5 different doctors, specialist, Ophthalmologists, etc, and 5 years later, 5 pairs of glasses later, we were referred to Dr. Debby by none other than my husband’s hearing Audio Specialist. We thank God for this. Soon we learned in two visits that our hope for no double vision would and could be corrected. There seem to be few specialists that really know prisms and the problems of double vision, whatever cause. My determination paid off by utilizing every avenue that came to get my husband’s eyes corrected. The last 2 months he’s walking better on his cane. He is able to help me pay bills, etc., because he has his complete vision from all angles. Thanks to Dr. Debby, our lives are much less complicated. We both continue to know eyes help your balance. Your vision is crucial to accomplish all the recoveries of stroke or whatever you’re achieving. Thanks again.

The uses for prism glasses are endless and unbelieveable.

HOW SOON DO YOU WANT YOUR AGORAPHOBIA GONE?

My eyes weren’t off by much, but the right eye is just a little higher if you look close. I am a good reader and type about 100 wpm, and I never got double vision. I was able to deal with it okay until I graduated and began working full time about 5 years ago. Then it became debilitating. I sit at a computer all day (Excel spreadsheets are BAD), but driving and shopping are also extremely bothersome. Flying or driving through mountains were at the top of the list of painful things to do. After MRI’s, eye therapy, lots of anti-depressants and other things that didn’t help at all, I finally found Dr. Debbie and I’m sure glad I did!

Some symptoms were extreme eye pain, pressure in head, lack of energy so that smiling or making an expression seemed like a lot of work. By the end of the day my body would be numb. The dizziness I wouldn’t really express as “dizzy”, but out-of-sorts. Mind fog, forgetting things and not being able to think clearly were common. I would get puffy and white in the face. My eyes would roll back in my head when I closed them and tried to relax them. I would watch a sport on TV and wonder how anyone moves like that because when I move fast at all it felt like my head was slushy or jello-like. Physical fitness is impossible because you never find the energy. I couldn’t look people in the eyes when talking to them. I would wake up as soon as any light at all comes into a room even though I hadn’t slept nearly enough, but sleep is the only thing that really helps. When you close your eyes it feels like you’re “floating”, for lack of a better word.

Once I saw this website I knew this had to be what it was, and I flew in. You can tell the difference immediately with the glasses, and once you get a full nights sleep so your eye muscles can recover you’ll be feeling like new in no-time. I don’t know what I would have done without these glasses and Dr. Debbie. I do know I wasn’t going to make it much longer the way I was going and she saved my life. Thank you!

HELP IS HERE IF YOU HAVE AGORAPHOBIA

Most patients experience a marked reduction in their symptoms with precise prismatic correction

The doctors at Vision Specialists of Michigan have developed a very detailed and specialized NeuroVisual Evaluation, which allows for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of Vertical Heterophoria and Superior Oblique Palsy. Using realigning prismatic spectacle lenses, the strain and fatigue within the visual system is reduced or eliminated. Patients notice significant improvement in their symptoms during their first office visit. Improvement continues over the course of several visits as the prismatic prescription is fine-tuned and customized for the individual.
