lazy eye orrr?

[didabaumy]

hi, sorry to bother u all- i was just wondering... i know i have a convergence insuffiency problemo.. and like a year ago began to get hepes of dizzyness problems (conincidently just after i got my new glasses)
.. things move around - a tree will move to the other side of the road..i drift to the left when i walk or drive (so i cant drive) ...ive had a ct, mri and eeg...seen an eye specialist and got referred to a neurologist who cleared me with mri..

(this was all happening march 2010 and in august 2010 i started my first ever meds (anxiety)) - so its not my medication because it was happening before.

but i went to the optometrist and he referred me to another eye specialist - (my eyes arent working together much ) and so i went and got another 2nd opinion and this optometrist put prism over my glasses

the funny thing is that it helped at a distance but not up close and she said i should really see a specialist ...she thinks its weird that prism helped....

also i have a dint in my left shoulder that happened at work i think (it appeared when i started at kfc) so could this effect my eyesight in anyway???

sorry about the lonnnnnnnng description...

oh and also ive had two different optometrists say i have really large pupils..

Tw shoulder will not affect your vision. The big pupils won't cause the problems you describe. My suggestion would be to see a Eye MD eye muscle specialist (strabismus), they are also known as "pediatric ophthalmologist' because most eye muscle problems show up first in kids. Find one near you at www.aao.org   Take in your medical records.

If the prism glasses helped at distance you may need to get prism reading glasses or bifocals with prism lin top and bottom.

also - when i dont wear my glasses for a few days my bloodshot eyes go away...but when i wear them again for a few hours they return again...is this weird or normal??
should i tell the eye specialist?
