Vision Therapy Evaluation
Caroline had an evaluation yesterday with a Vision Therapist to ascertain if she has a vision issue that is not readily detected by a regular optometry evaluation. Sure enough, she does. She has a tracking problem, where her eyes do not track what she is seeing simultaneously. This in turn results in the double vision she has been seeing. We are so relieved to know that finally have a solution. Unfortunately she needs special glasses to the tune of $450! But at this point, whatever works, right? They are tinted as well to help with the glare from the fluorescent lights. The vision specialist also recommended therapy but we will see if the glasses take care of the issue as vision therapy is expensive and not usually covered by insurance.

So glad to hear some definitive diagnosis!
Right there with you on the expensive glasses for our son. We even have vision insurance and still pay a lot because of the tinting and making the lenses thinner and his extreme astigmatism. All these medical expenses are such a hardship, as I'm sure you are well aware of too!
That is interesting, because my 8 year old bipolar daughter has the same tracking and double vision problems, just up-close, which affects her reading ability. No special glasses, they just recommended eye excercises.
