My BVD treated with prisms

FNP7 Yes, I am using screens mostly comfortably again. I would say I am about 75-80% back to where I was. It took quite a while after the statin exposure for the double vision after blinking to resolve completely. Now when I blink I see a single image quickly, unless my eye muscles are tired. My main complaint is some lingering pain in the inner corner of my left eye which can intensify after a long day of close work. Overall my left eye, even fully corrected is a lot weaker than my right.

brvideo I have two sets of glasses, a close work and distance pair. There are horizontal and vertical prisms, and they are present in both pairs and in the same diopters. This is actually something I want to talk to my optometrist about, because I think I might need more horizontal prism in my near pair, but I can’t tolerate more in my distance pair. On the other hand it makes sense to me that vertical prism is the same in both pairs, as that correction must always be active for my eyes to fully relax.

How I found it was to import my 23andMe data into Promethease, years ago.

If you import it into Promethease now this SNP is not reported on at all anymore, not even if it’s normal, just completely gone. Possibly they had to remove it for FDA compliance.

SelfDecode did report that SNP on my imported data, which also showed homozygous deficient, but I wouldn’t recommend that service for other reasons.

voidv2 I saw Dr. Debby Feinberg from Vision Specialists of Michigan. A truly first class optometrist who has changed many lives, especially those who have suffered concussions and develop BVD as a result. Another major cause of BVD is facial asymmetry. She places emphasis on correcting vertical Heterophoria and believes that small corrections in this domain can bring big results.
