Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Has anyone tried to have their eyes tested then retested after an expsoure? Am I the only one who vision clearly changes after a fragrance expsoure? When people go for their vision tests, if the office is toxic wouldn't their rx be off?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 There is another test that a good neurologist will order for his/her patients with a serious neurological disorder. That test (I've had it, twice) is called a VER test...it stands for Visual Evocted Response testing. It tests the eyes, basically, BUT: it also checks the optic nerve all the way back, to check for demyelinating disease. [] VCS > > Did you know?

This has happened to me several times. Totally frustrated the M.D. who was testing me. Was also told after a bad fragrance exposure in the office that my eye pressure was very high and wanted to check me for glaucoma. I explained my reaction and ask if she would test a few hours later. She agreed and my pressure returned to normal. First time my M.D. had ever been made aware of this. Gave her quite a few weblinks to continue her research. My vision was affected after the toxic mold exposure; quite severely which scared me honestly. I am now back to normal (require reading glasses of 1.25 strength). However when I have a severe exposure my vision does change. Vision is very blurry (like a thick, heavy London fog), at times I'll have pains in my eyes, or my eyelid will swell. I've heard this from many with MCS as well as toxic mold. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 From whqt you posted that would test for a chronic vs an acute symptom. I am trying to find out if others have visions changing upon exposure then reverting back once the reactionis over. Not something that is chronic.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Mine is intermittently blurry..... & I OFTEN have episodes where it feels like someone is sticking pins in my eyes. It's not truly painful, but uncomfortable. NOTHING is truly painful to me much anymore, after my onset of illness. THAT pain was sooooooooo intense, I thought I was going to die. The others did too.
