Seventy five year old women has glaucoma and is being treated by an MD. As so often happens she assumes a new refraction can fix any vision problem.
I have her slowly accepting the loss of vision in her right eye (especially) but she says if she lowers her chin and covers her left eye she gets some vision which is definitely better than a straight ahead gaze otherwise.
I'm wondering if I might suggest to the MD I try a simple sv yoked base up rx to see what happens. My doc (OD) who caught the glaucoma says she'd be surprised if it works. She noted how the patient tends to bob her head around trying to find optimum vision.
r -4.50 -2.50 x 28
l -4.25 -2.50 x 168
add +2.50
She's in a physio short so I want to get her out of that as well.
Before I call the MD any thoughts from my peps would be appreciated.
