sorry......am having a little moan.
DD2 is dyslexic, which was only confirmed last september as she went into yr7 after many many years fighting!
anyhoo......at that time they also recommended taking her to an optomotrist as she seemed to be having eye issues too.....which we knew as she is long sighted and was already in glasses.
well....we took her to a place recommended by the dyslexic foundation, only to find that she had eye muscle problems causing focusing issues WRT copying from the board at school and also TV and PC usage.
she went to their 'eye gym' for 8wks, which helped enormously, and then told to carry on at home and come back in the new year.
we haven't been as consistant as we should have been as we got so caught up in lots of other issues and my health issues (major allergy probs), and have only just gone back.
DD2 has been having problems with her right eye for the past 6wks.......hurting and pressure and watering and red looking.....seems that all the work we started n strengthening her eyes worked well on bith, and then her left eye contiued to improve while her right eye stopped.......only now it has started to degenerate.
upshot is she is going to have to be patched once home from school for at least and hour (she is 12 and the thought of patching during the day is an absolute no-no!) for the next 2wks, then left for a week, then patched again for another 2wks, and then we go back.......doing lots of eye gym exercises while the patch is on.
am clear on what to do, so this is more of an offload IYGWIM, but is there anyone out there who has either been thro the same thing, or had their DC go thro it, and has it helped?????
TIA
