I was driving home from a chiropractor appointment and all of a sudden, the car in front of me looked like it had hopped up on itself! I blinked (didn't help) and slowed down. Luckily, the car in front of me was the only one around me. An immediate red light gave me a chance to gather my wits and realize I probably wasn't going to run into anything in what was a very short ride home, even tho the center line seemed to be moving around. My mg doc increased my prednisone, and explained that many clients were reacting to the smoke drifting into our area from Canadian fires. I agree that this on-going "sorting out" of visual information is tiring on the eyes and the brain and the psyche. Below are things that have helped me. 1. Dosage change. 2. Prism eyeglass lenses. 3. A sense of humor, especially when watching tv pairs figure skating contests. 4. I pretend I am looking through a visor or kaleidascope, and try to appreciate the artsy views. 5. I exercise my eye muscles by blinking first one, then the other. Also, with eyes closed, in sync, looking to right, and then left. Raising alternate eyebrows. 6. Deep breaths, a hard blink, and re-focusing on something else.
I prefer that my husband drive the car, but the eye doctor says it is ok for me to drive, with caution.
