I currently wear progressive glasses almost a year ago, I just used them on close reading and and some on tv, now I'm getting older I having more frecuently eye strain and dry eyes, I have every year or 2 years eye exams with pupils dilated, don't have any issues, this last exam mi doctor suggested me to do vision therapy to fix my eye turn, she gave an eye patch and told me to play video games.. I found a eye therapy location and I did the first consultation, got evaluated and I have the second evaluation with the specialist so he will let me know if I can be candidate for the therapy and if that will help me with my eye turn as well with amblyopia and alignment of my ayes, the terapist gaveme big hopes on that, I'm very skeptical about that because it's been so long and no one of my previous docots has been mentioned that before until last doctor, so what do you think should i give a shot or not, I will pay myself because my insurance doesn't cover that and it's quite a expensive
