Title: vision?
Post by mg12061 on Mar 17^th, 2011 at 9:31am

Does anyone have trouble with their vision when they get tired? Kathleen has always had an issue with gettting very tired easily especially at school.Lately though she has been saying it's hard to see when she's working on school work. I've also seen her left eye turning in a bit. She seems to tires of the work more easily, she seems to get really exhausted. We had her vision tested yesterday and it hasn't changed in the past year. She wears glasses to lessen her eye strain and to lessen the turing in of her left eye. Any input is welcome... Kathleen expressive language sometimes hinders ehr ability to advocate for ehrself and what she's feeling.

Yep, Holly has, she has what they call "tired eyes" or "eye fatigue" and it usually happens after she has been reading for a long period of time, then everything gets blurry. They said the only help is therapy.

We did not, for awhile it went away, but it comes and goes. It would of been therapy with an eye doctor is what they said, but they said it may or may not help.

I went back to the eye doctor because I started having problems with my vision getting worse once again. It scared me. I found out that my vision wasn't any worse but that my left eye now has an involuntary twitch. With this it has cause my eyes to lose focus. I have had eye therapy for the last 4 months. It has helped but at the same time it hasn't stopped it completely. The doctor says that I may always have problems with focus now. I hope this helps a little. :-?

I appreciate everyones input on this. It makes it easier for us to understand what Kathleen may be dealing with. I'm not sure there's anything we can really do about it except to not push her too hard when she's tired so she doesn't get fustrated or angry. I don't want her to catch on that saying "it's ahrd to see" will get her out of work so we need a good plan for when this happens. Her eyes don't seem to work together well when she's tired. Especially her left will turn in towards her nose.
Thank again for your input!!
