can't see to read-suggestions?

43 year old female (me) OK, here goes-bilateral schirmer of 0, all
four puncta occluded (plugs, getting cautery soon). Distance
prescription: O.D Sphere -4.5 CYL-1.75 Axis 173 O.S -5.5 CYL-1.0 Axis
042 Reading glasses O.D. Sphere 3.25 CYL-1.75 Axis 173 O.S.
Sphere-4.25 CYL-1.0 Axis 173 O.S.-4.25 CYL-1.0 Axis 042. Use drops,
lube, lacriserts as needed. Cornea looks OK, cataracts (early) both
eyes. Visual "snow", double vision, tracers, blinky crap all over
visual field (no history of illicit drug use).Recently developed car
sickness/motion sickness (never had this as a child). Violent nausea
watching high contrast video. B&W "House of Blue Leaves" sequence in
Kill Bill made me sick as a dog. Nystagmus during episodes of nausea.
Optho sent me to neuro-optho, neuro-optho took history, did cursory
exam sending me to neurologist.I do not want to take seizure meds
unless I absolutely have to (history of Stevens-Johnson)Is there
anything I can do to control the nausea from visual stimulation
without risking having all my skin peel off? As I get bounced from doc
to doc is there some real obvious thing they could be missing (inner
ear problem?) Some simple solution (don't watch Tarantino films?
Something wrong with that prescription?)
I'm grasping here, but I'm getting tired of not being able to read
print, and puking on car trips and during movies.

 

Sounds like you have a problem that needs fixing, but in the meantime I have
a suggestion for two of your three issues. I am legally blind and unable to
read print or watch movies. My eye specialist hooked me up with the Library
of Congress Books for the Blind, and I receive unabridged books on tape.
Some televisions stations have their programs set up with a voiceover for
the visually impaired (you have to click the SAP button), and most libraries
have SAP (secondary audio program) videotapes of a variety of movies.

I know this doesn't solve your root problem, but it's a way to deal until
they find the cause.

Good idea. My aunt is legally blind (maliginant myopia)and gets books
on tape. I've watched SAP movies with her so I know what you're
talking about-I can still read on the computer,thank goodness, if I
alter the contrast/brightness/font size. But I guess listening to the
complete works of Umberto Eco will keep me busy till somebody tells me
what the heck is going on!
