Rob, is the computer screen a problem because it makes your general feelings of dizziness etc worse? Or do you suffer from visual snow/ eye floaters etc? x ---

Hi both 🙂 I actually asked dr s about these glasses, he didn’t seem to think it was worth the money. There was no direct benefit that he could see that drugs wouldn’t give. Rob- maybe give the new drug combination a go for a while first? See where you are in a month or so ? X ---

Yes it does the same kind of thing for me. I can’t spend too long at a time on it, I have to lie down in between for a rest. Are you on new meds Rob? x ---

I use computer /prizm glasses that I only use when I use the computer. I wouldn’t make it 10 minutes without them. I notice a huge differnce if I try not to wear them. They were prescribed by a neuro-opthamologist. I have mav and am greatly affected by computer use as well. I also have a 100 percent computer based job. I have a condition called eye convergence insuffiencey. The glasses are made for people who use computers all day. Teri.
