CAN YOU RELATE TO ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS?

  1. Anxiety associated with being uncomfortable while driving in a moving vehicle.Concern that a dizzy episode will occur while they are driving, and that they will not be able to pull over to the side of the road to get to safety, before harming themselves or others.
  2. Anxiety associated with being in a space with a tall ceiling (i.e. malls, grocery stores, big box stores). All of the multiple stimuli and detail in a large space can overload the visual system and trigger a dizzy episode with the resultant feeling of being overwhelmed.
  3. Overwhelmed when in a group with many people due to the many faces and stimuli triggering dizziness.
  4. Generalized anxiety, sometimes severe enough to cause suicidal ideation.
Please Note: These symptoms are similar to those seen in patients with agoraphobia or anxiety syndromes.
Do these symptoms seem familiar to you. Take the test on the right to see what you can do about them.

  1. While the body is doing the best it can to fix the eye misalignment, this approach causes a lot of problems. There has to be a better way to get the image onto the fovia without needing to reposition the eye. And there is!
  2. Since 1995, our doctors at have performed groundbreaking research into the use ofprism (in green) which is at the heart of our Vis-AlignTM Glasses. Prism can bend beams of light, and can redirect the image (red dotted arrow) onto the center of the back of the eye (the fovea (big red arrowhead)) while the eye is in it’s original, slightly misaligned position (black arrow). Since there is no need to realign the eye, there is no overuse of the eye muscles, which markedly reduces or eliminates the symptoms of Binocular Vision Dysfunction.

THE CAGED BIRD

Caged Bird

BY MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind   
and floats downstream   
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and   
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings   
with a fearful trill   
of things unknown   
but longed for still   
and his tune is heard   
on the distant hill   
for the caged bird   
sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams   
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream   
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied   
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings   
with a fearful trill   
of things unknown   
but longed for still   
and his tune is heard   
on the distant hill   
for the caged bird   
sings of freedom.

This just about says it all. Can we identify with this or what!

IS THE PRICE TO HIGH TO PAY?

Ok, we have made the supreme attempt to leave our safe zone. Maybe it was to go to a wedding, or a son's baseball game, or maybe dinner party with a dear friend.  We somehow got through it just to suffer the consequences afterwards  for a week, is it worth it?
Has this happened to you? We made the decision to go so now we labor over it and fret for a week. We go through anxiety and stress every time we think about it. We get dressed and somehow get in the car and arrive at our destination. We hold on and some how through the Grace of God we get through it and we are back in our safe place. Now we are told we should be slapping ourselves on the back and hi fiving ourselves for a great success, how come that is not what we are doing. Instead we go into deep depression, and cry and suffer more anxiety for longer periods of time then before we went. Does this sound right? There
has to be a better way, and there is. Take the test on the right and see if you need this. If you have what I had the answer is yes. It's your time get the help you need and you won't have to pay the price again.

Wishing you all the best, leave a comment, Yolanda

ARE YOU A CLOSET AGORAPHOBIC?

I mean have you kept your agoraphobic condition from almost everyone?
You are not alone. I personally could operate well enough for most people to think I was fun and maybe liked to drink too much. Thanks to genes from my father. I was a good actor. Most of my family members like brothers, sisters, in laws really didn't know I was as debilitated as I was. Not even my own husband knew!
My sons knew after reading my book. I portrayed myself as so normal that most family members didn't believe what they read in my book. They thought I was lying about most of the agoraphobic part.
I used alcohol and pills to get through things I just couldn't get out of. (I hated alcohol and pills). I had small children at the time so it was easy to use them as an excuse.
I talked to a friend the other day that I haven't seen since I wrote the book and she hadn't ever heard of agoraphobia. We are definitely at the bottom of the priority chain.
I know it's hard for a lot of you to believe your eyes are the cause of the problem but it's true.

All the best, Yolanda

AGORAPHOBIA YOUR UNIQUE PROBLEM

"There's the whole matter of having a meaningful attitude for the problems that life may set before you. If only you could see the whole picture, if only you knew the whole story, you would realize that no problem ever comes to you that does not have a purpose in your life, that cannot contribute to your inner growth. When you perceive this, you will recognize problems as opportunities in disguise."
