What else can I do?

23 yr female. Problem started 3 yrs ago, vision getting blurry. Went to opthamalogist, recommended glasses with 1.25 strength. Didn't help, blurry vision continued, get bad headaches.  Saw to another opthamalogist, same diagnosis - glasses should help. Went to PCP, and asked for MRI to rule out tumors,etc.  MRI done and results were negative.  I have to turn my head to side and move my head to help get things focused.  Went to Neuro-opthamalogist who was great-actually listened to what I said, but he had no answer to my problem either.  By now I am having double vision too.  Saw an optometrist who thought problem could be perception. He put prism lenses in one set of glasses and regular lenses in another.  Prism help slightly but not much.  He said he can see my right eye roll toward inside of eye while talking to me. I am not aware of this movement.  Also said he thinks what I am experencing is a symptom of something, not the actual problem.  I just want to be able to see clearly again.  FYI - Diagnosed with Tourette's at age 12.  Took Orap for 9 years, slowly went off of that,now taking baclofen for tics.  On paxil and wellbutrin for depression.  Thank you for your time.

Suggest you accumulate your records and go to a world class ophthalmology center and see their neuroophthalmology department. Examples would be  Jules Stein or Estell DoHeny (spell?) at USC  or UCLA.
