in reply to: Will my eyes return to normal on their own? #1071619

Thank you so much Ski for responding,

Yes i have tried the Prism glasses. I wound up chucking them after an hour of trying to use them. The problem with them were, the minute i focused on one image and i moved, It was all over. my vision gets worse with them on. So no luck with them. My eyes have been stable since January. Ive been to my eye doctor 3x and there has been no change in my eyes, if anything they may be getting better. (measurement wise) I asked about if my double vision can correct itself on its own. THe problem with Vertical Diplopia is that in most cases it will not correct itself. I could live w/ the buldginess that i have (which is very mild from what my doctor says) i see it, but alot of people say they cant notice. The only thing they tell me is Karen, you have a totally differnt look to you w/out knowing what it wrong .. Also my doctor that i have is "THE BEST surgeon for orbital decompression surgery in NEW YORk where i live. And if he is telling me i dont need it.. i believe him lol. he said he could correct that look by the eye lid surgery, by pulling my lid down a bit so i dont have that look. Also like i mentioned i am seeing this Holistic Pharmasist, and he doesnt want me to do any surgery besides the double vision, He swears he can get me back to normal Naturally. He also put me on a special diet.

Have you heard of gluten free diet for graves disease patients? well he said if i cut gluten out of my diet i will be feeling so much better and there will be less puffiness around my eyes.. "if i keep it up" He said alot of food that has gluten in it are "toxic substances to the thyroid, and these should be removed from the diet" and a gluten free diet will help reduce symptoms of the disease. Ive been trying to follow it. As i just started the diet. and i do have to say i feel better! But when i go off my diet i feel puffy swollen aggitated.. Just wondering if you heard the same thing???
