Daily headaches can result from subtle eye misalignment causing eye strain. Treatment with aligning prismatic lenses may correct this, reducing headaches and improving quality of life. Many patients experience lasting relief after receiving this non-invasive, vision-focused treatment.
Daily Headaches: Through Elli’s Eyes
Through Elli’s Eyes: 2,555
VSM Community Outreach Manager Elli Altman shares her own experiences with a vision misalignment and her treatment with a NeuroVisual Medicine specialist.
2,555
That is the number of headaches I had in the seven years prior to my first visit to a NeuroVisual specialist. 2,555 mornings when I awoke to the pain in my head. Sometimes, it was the pain that woke me up.
And I thought I knew the cause…… I told myself (and anyone who would listen) that it must be from that second glass of red wine I’d had the night before. If I didn’t have wine, I figured it must have been my sinuses (although I had no history of sinus problems).
Wake up. Pop a couple pain relievers. Drink a couple mugs of coffee. Start the day.
And then – on February 22, 2014 – everything changed. This is the date that I had my first exam at VSM, was fit with lenses that aligned my eyes and had normal vision for the first time in my 61 years. Soon after, I picked up my glasses and started a new and hopeful life.
And, now I have a new number. Today – June 29, 2016 – my new number is 880.
880 is the number of days I have woken up WITHOUT a headache.
880 mornings that started WITHOUT pain relievers.
880 days filled with more potential.
880 mornings that I give thanks that my journey led me to VSM (thank you, Andi xoxo)
