[QUOTE="gwend1, post: 602315, member: 15994"] My daughter is in vision therapy and I am a big fan of it instead of surgery, BUT, in my experience an under skilled doctor and therapist can be a disaster. My daughter has sensory processing disorder (SPD), anxiety and possibly ADHD (or maybe just vision issues and dyslexia...) and the first optometrist we saw just wasn't qualified to work with that as an issue. The vision therapy she had my daughter doing led to daily rages (and not just in reaction to therapy homework- all day long. She was massively overstimulating her vestibular system ). Is your doctor COVD board certified? I found another doctor who is and the difference is amazing. She fully understands my daughter's sensory and vestibular challenges and recognizes them as part of what she is treating. I know I would be strongly hesitating against surgery, because it's likely he'll still need VT, but I don't think you have a doctor/therapist who has the education you need, and if they are your only choice.... I do know that some people will travel many hours once a month or so, get exercises to do at home, and manage the distance to a good provider that way, maybe that's an option. I do wish you the best. It's such a tough decision. [/QUOTE]
