I first saw my optometrist then a respected neuro-ophthalmologist who both basically dismissed my symptoms as my eyes checked out fine physically. My continued research led me to getting evaluated by a NORA Neuro-Optometrist, who are eye care providers with specialized training in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of neurologic and neuro-ophthalmic conditions. I had multiple issues with how my eyes were working together which caused blurriness, headaches, light sensitivity and other symptoms that I wasn’t even aware of until after diagnosis and treatment. Make sure where you go has trained staff to provide vision therapy. I experienced improvement almost immediately once I began vision therapy. The NORA website is a great resource for researching your symptoms.
