Thank you. My husband has those lenses and they do correct double vision. Apparently my problem is neurological.

I have POTS after a light case of COVID In October 2022. Shortly after in November my blood pressure went off the chart, dizziness, syncope and
Face planted toilet and cut arms up and mouth. Fainted twice that day. Hospitalized twice. I have two more blood pressure pills and a salt pill and as much sodium as I can consume and 80 ounces of water and Gatorade. I also found by research that V 8 has 920 Gm of Sodium so that’s my go to. Haven’t been able to drive since November because dizzy when sitting or standing . I am feeling a little better, but have put on weight because of sodium. Made a trip to Mayo Clinic last week.
I toured a program that’s 3 weeks Monday through Friday
9am to 5 pm, but felt it was more for getting off opioids.
So it’s wasn’t for me, as only pain meds I take is Arthritis Tylenol. You also have to pay for Hotel and food for 3 weeks. I try to get in exercise
Daily. Mainly chores around the house. It’s a wait and see
Game, and I don’t like it.
