what kinds of treatments worked for you ?
and when it mentions residual retinal damage, is it that some
other parts of the retina were damaged when the laser treatment
was done ? (like being done for a retinal tear ?)
and what is the definition of "suppression" in this discussion ?
I'm new to these terms but going thru some symptoms of what
pat discusses,but for me its pain/strain in both eyes, usually not
at the same time, then goes away after some hours,
also sensitvity to sunlite and tinnitus (ringing in ears) - none
of which was had until the day after the laser treatment.
I suggest that you discuss your symptoms with your ophthalmologist, who is in a position to diagnose your problem (which might turn out to be very different from what I've described). In the event that you do have the type of binocular vision problem I've described and your ophthalmologist can't give you a referral, I can provide you with a few possibilities. In my case, wearing corrective lenses some of the time has been sufficient to eliminate my symptoms.
