Facial Parathesia and Pain with eyeglasses
by eschwerm, May 16, 2008 04:13PM
For two years now I have been having difficulty wearing any eyeglasses. I need them to read. Any eyeglasses cause a numbness, cold feeling and eventually pain on my face around my eyes. I try to cope by keeping my readers on my head and taking them on and off my face as I need them throughout the day. I have tried contacts and they do not cause any discomfort but the correction made my distance sight so I couldn't drive. I now use audiobooks because I enjoy reading. I have seen an eye doctor and a neurologist and all was negative. In the meantime, the symptoms are getting worse.
Thank you.

1. Keep trying to find a pair of glasses that are resonably comfortable.
2. Wear contacts maybe bifocal or mono-vision
3. Be Evaluated for referactive surgery.
4. Just wear glasses when you absolutely have to.
