Neurological Malfunction

Gurm

I haven't found a dietary link, not discounting Seagull's experience, but it's not representative.

The best think would be a elimination diet for 3 to 4 weeks. Starting just with rice and chicken, and broth. Then adding some vegetables, etc.
There lot of info on google on Elimination Diets.

K-Moss

Anyone noticed any improvement from supplementing with a good B complex?

AGI

K-Moss I used for some months eye drops containing vitamin B-12 and it did help especially at the start. It relieved symptoms but did not eliminate the problem.

AGI The link doesn't work for me. What's the brand you use?

AGI

Tommy98 It is called Sancoba Ophthalmic Solution 0.02% : 5ml x 10.

Description: This preparation of vitamin B12 improves muscle function related to eye focusing. It is usually used to treat eyestrain.
Active Ingredients: Cyanocobalamin

I do not want to create too many expectations. It helped, but it does not cure the issue at the origin.

I fixed the link.

AGI Thanks!

Cyanocobalamin is trash. Methylcobalamin is much better.

Edit: That is, if you want a form that can be absorbed and used by your entire body. Cyano needs multiple steps of conversion in the liver that Methyl does not. It is possible that Cyano in eyedrops functions differently when dropped into the eye so I shouldn't dismiss it outright, but I am skeptical.

Interestingly had labs done and am highly b12 deficient

Tommy98 Please check here - heteroforie.webnode.cz

If the optometrist did not find anything, then that unfortunately doesnt mean its still not heterophoria. You can try the home test and maybe find more specialists to try.

It may be stress, but in a different way than you think now - long time under pressure or sudden stress can make heterophoria manifest, as the strain is already too much and under bigger load your body may just give up and let the eyes "slide".

Also a lot of people here are looking for neurological solution - heterophoria IS a neurological issue as well. Its a combination of badly set eye muscles combined with how the visual center in the brain processes stimuli.
