Has anyone tried treating their vision problems? I have been reluctant to go to a regular eye doctor for fear they'll treat just the eyeballs, ignoring the brain, and thus make my eyes progressively worse by giving me glasses I either don't need or are not the correct prescription for the problem.
I don't have a neuro-opthalmologist near me, though Dr. Padula's theories make a lot of sense:

I've just made an appointment with a regular optometrist, though, because I have to admit I really can
see so much less now, and my drugstore readers are giving me a headache. I have balance problems, and bump into stuff, and migraines; yet it seems impossible to know how much of this is due to the eyes alone, M.E. effect on eyes, or other effects of M.E.
Has anyone else had some positive experience in this area, and/or can offer some advice as
to what info to offer the eye doc when I go in?
