@avmcbellar I found that there are neuro-ophthalmologists at OHSU, in Portland, through the Casey Eye Institute. I doubt that I'd find any better in Oregon. If an ophthalmologist here in central Oregon were to refer me, that's where they would send me. Then it comes to researching the individual doctors. I'm not in a big hurry at this point. I can function with the prison in my right lens.

@jimhd thanks Jim for the recommendation. I will add them to my list contact list. Beautiful country in Oregon.

Thank you @jimhd and @lioness for the advice. I am researchIng an otolaryngologist near me who specializes in dizziness and balance issues to get an assessment. I may need an adjustment, lol. I have tried a few times to find a neuro ophthalmologist but there are not many near me. I even had called the doctors’ offices but no one could help. My neuro surgeon told me to go see a particular neuro ophthalmologist at USF medical. He diagnosed me and then referred me to the neuro ophthalmologist I see regularly now. His patients are mostly pediatrics. Next year when I get my annual assessment I plan to ask more details about the surgery. I will ask for his recommendations of surgeons since to me he did not seem confident (we don’t mind traveling in our RV trailer for the surgery). I got that impression when he pushed for leaving the eye as is. He agreed with me that my motion sickness is brought on by the diplopia. Doing nothing at all to overcome my vision problems will be difficult because I would like to enjoy most of the things I do plus do more. There are risks involved, just like with any surgery, but it seems if the surgery is unsuccessful in eliminating the diplopia then a prism will help. Currently no prism offers any relief.
