I have some conflicting feelings today.
I went to the eye doctor last minute last night because I had been having some issues and thought my prescription needed to be adjusted. I have a minor difference/issue in my eyes up close that most people don’t have, and I was afraid it was starting to affect my distance too. Well, he told me I was most likely right and I need to go to vision therapy.
On one hand I’m happy because he knows someone who can help and I know that he is a good doctor my family has seen for many many years.
On the other hand I’m nervous.
All of my unsolvable complex medical issues have begun similarly, and ended with specialists telling me there’s nothing they can do.
The “mainstream” fix for this issue is a special type of lens, but I would be required to wear glasses forever, I wouldn’t be able to wear contacts anymore. Hopefully if the vision therapist agrees with my doctor, the therapy will help me avoid this.
I’m nervous she won’t agree. I could accept a world where I had to wear glasses forever, but dealing with this issue I’ve been having forever would really suck. I’m worried that she might say she can’t help. I’m hoping she at least agrees with my doctor, because even if the therapy fails I would be able to “fix” it with lenses. That would be much better than my other issues where there isn’t even a “fix” to make me comfortable.
I was able to seek out alternative care for my other main issue which I think has actually been helping a lot, but it still comes with some concerns about the cost long term. I don’t think that’s an option for vision issues though.
Another thing is that studies show the biggest indicator of if a therapy works is simply the person believing it will work. It’s hard to believe it will work when you’ve been through so much. I’m trying my best to believe all of my therapies will work.
I’m going to call the vision therapist later today and set up my evaluation. I’m hoping for the best. (๑-﹏-๑)
Que bonita nevada y veras que todo saldra bien, saludos:D
