double vision

[eyesright]

Hi to you all,

This is my first post on your forum and I have two questions I want to ask.

The first is about double-vision. I've been having problems for about a year, firstly with eye convergence and now with double-vision. The convergence was treated with 12 sessions of special eye exercises and they helped quite a bit. However, soon after, I started noticing I was having double-vision. I've been told these are muscular problems and that messages from my brain are not being properly interpreted by the muscles that control my vision. I can understand that but I don't understand why (this seems odd to me) when I put on my glasses the double vision returns to normal vision. My glasses are ordinary prescription glasses that I had before I started having double-vision problems. They don't have prism lenses. I have one pair for reading and a second pair for intermediate vision. If my brain and my eyes are out of "sync" without glasses because of a muscular problem, why should my vision return to normal just because I put on a pair of glasses? I would have thought the brain/musclular problem would have remained.

Question two . . . . I’ve also been getting strange problems with my neck/head/eyes. Whenever I lay my head back onto something firm (my pillows at night, a cushion whilst watching T.V. or against the rim of the bath when I’m bathing) pressure seems to build up at the back of my head (parallel with the bottom of my ears) and an instant build-up of pressure travels round the sides of my head, to my temples and over my eyes. I can even create this effect just by pressing my hand on the same place at the back of my head for about 30 seconds. In bed at night, because the pressure is prolonged, within a couple of minutes, my eyes also begin to feel like they’re rubbing up against sand-paper when I move them from side to side (with my eyelids closed). If I lift my head to release the pressure the feelings stop within a few seconds. This forces me to make sure I lie on my side as much as I can through the night. I mentioned this to my doctor who sent me for a head scan but nothing was found. Has anyone ever had this experience or know of a reason why this may be happening?

Hope you can help.

Maybe you can inquire about the professionals.
