Progressive lenses

[Crankin]

Oy, Oakleaf, I would be embarrassed as he** to go for a neuropsych eval, as it would make me look like an overachiever . And, since I know most of them around here, I know they are not too proficient in evaluating these issues, but more in the areas of learning and ADHD. I almost wonder if there's any PTs who work with this stuff and maybe an eye doctor who knows a lot about depth perception. I am not sure about my balance with my eyes closed, maybe I should test it.
And yea, those new Accuvues suck. I also put one in for about 5 minutes and said "no." I am wearing the older version. Again, the doc thought I was nuts, that I could feel a difference. The thing is, that the balance and probably the depth perception issues run in both sides of my family. My dad is super uncoordinated and my mom's sister makes me look like an Olympian. My mom, however, was extremely athletic and coordinated, which is where I probably get the endurance genes from. Too bad I didn't get the rest.
I am somewhat leery of "eye exercises" to cure anything. I just remember lots of ODs trying to cash in on visual training to cure everything from reading disabilities to bad behavior in adolescents.
You are right, I have many compensatory strategies, mostly consisting of knowing what I am good at and sticking to that. But the thing is, I am somewhat of a risk taker as I get older, and now I'd like to be able to do more.
ETA: Tokie, yes the last place I got glasses at had "tween" sized glasses and they were perfect for me. I will keep the Bevel brand in mind.
