prescription breakdown.

by Sunshine959, Mar 11, 2008 11:17AM
I have had eye strain for a while since NOV of 07, and having horrible tightning head aches on the side of my head where my eyes are, and i would get dizzy, i notice that when that tightning gets worse i can see that my eyes are definitly cross. I went in to see my O.D, and he said that my eyes did change for the better and that my astigmatism had changed from axis 180 to 10.Is that enough to cause all that?  He did diagnose me with strabismus and gave me some glasses with prism ONLY to use while i read.I feel like i should have them all the time?People tell me that my eyes are cross when before no one would ever say anything? I feel like it is getting worse but he won't do anything about it? any suggestions? My old prescription is 8.7/-5.00-1.25x180/14.5 he hasn't wrote me a new prescription since my astigmatism changed?

You should have been referred to an Eye MD ophthalmologist. See an Eye MD perhaps a strabismus specialist. Take in all your glasses. Find an Eye MD at www.aao.org
