Brain not "showing me" my peripheral vision

How long have you been using the prism lenses? Brain plasticity is not instantaneous, may take a while to produce a noticeable difference.
I hope you find an answer. I know for me, I have significantly less peripheral vision in low light, but assume it has to do with cataract formation, age and mild glaucoma.
Can you get a neuro ophthalmologist to present you as a case study?

I started wearing the prism lenses Thursday at lunch.
So far I noticed that my vision is not as good at night with the prisms, but it's not a big difference. Otherwise, I notice that my peripheral seems to be "brighter", but still only when I am actually seeing the peripheral. So the main problem still is not improved, but as you mentioned, it could take a few more days.
I would be interested in seeing what the neuro-Opthalmologist says about all of it. I mentioned mayo clinic to him but he seemed to be pretty confident that he could figure it out, so I'm not sure he'll be much help when it comes to branching out to other people to join in. I am trying to get a neurologist appointment now also though, because I am starting to think the issue is completely just in the brain itself.
I'm not sure what other additional tests a neurologist might have, since I've already had an mri. But if they would either do a case study or have additional testing that they could try, I would be really interested.
