Hi dear Caroline. You have helped me before so much and I appreciate. Thank you. Both my eyes are in bad shape. I have had a dragged retina since born in my left eye so I have less than 20perce t vision in that eye and NAION effected my only good right eye 4 years ago. I have always relied on my once good ey to see. My left one just went on holiday lol. I can see colour well and I don¡¯t have any streaks or blind spots. My vision is just blurry. I have lost a lot of contrast and I find detail difficult to see. I just assumed that if they made my lens stronger, it would get rid of the blur I was but nothing g seems to work. I just don¡¯t understand how I can have a weak script when my vision is still blurry yet my Optometrist has tried so hard to lift my vision. All a mystery to me X?

Hi Chiarina,
You need an optometrist who sees beyond your lab results and listens to your needs. With my bilateral NAION, my dominant eye is centrally blind with many scotoma streaks. My left eye has a few scotomas with good peripheral vision. My brain has adapted and improved over the past 1 1/2 years, but my dominant right still spreads the gray gloom to my overall vision. With myopia, too, I recently went back to contacts because I feel I need ALL of my vision, including my peripheral. They strengthened my RX, and my new contacts felt off. Then I realized my dominant eye was responding to the stronger Rx and trying to dominate with the gray smears. So, I put my old weaker contact lens in my right, use my stronger Rx in my left, and for the first time, my left eye is dominant without battling my right.? I am ecstatic over the clarity.?
I know we are all unique in our experiences, but for those if us who have a ¡°good¡± eye and a poor eye, it may be worth trying to lessen the Rx strength of the poor eye to help establish a stable dominance of the good eye.
I hope this helps some of you!

Hi there. Why can¡¯t my glasses help me see clearer? Why do they say that I have a very light eye script why can¡¯t they just make the script stronger? Thank you?
