UPDATE FROM PAM
(PLEASE FORGIVE IT IS A COPY AND PASTE)

TODAY (7TH UUGUST ) I WENT TO A SPECIALIZED SIGHT EXAMINATION. I AM NOT IMPROVING AND MY BRAIN SURGEON WANTED ME TO GO TO GO HAVE THIS DONE TO GIVE A "BASE LINE" HE COULD REFER TO AT MY NEXT APPOINTMENT WITH HIM ON 18TH SEPTEMBER.

THE LEFT-SIDE NEGLECT PROBLEM en.wikipedia.org/WIKI/HEMISPATIAL_NEGLECT HAS BEEN CAUSING VERY BAD FALLS AND SERIOUS HEAD BANGS.AND POSSIBLY THE AWFUL DIZZINESS

I WENT TO THE EXAMINATION WITH A HOPE IN MY HEART THAT THEY COULD HELP ME WITH MY SIGHT.

AFTER TESTING THE OPTOMETRISTS DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME PROPERLY AND THAT I NEEDED TO SEE ANOTHER ONE WHO SPECIALIZES IN SIGHT PROBLEMS CAUSED BY MAJOR STROKES. THEY ARE NOW REFERRING ME TO SUCH AN OPTOMETRIST , A DR PATEL AT THE DEAN MARIE EYE INSTITUTE.. AN APPOINTMENT HAS NOW BEE ARRANGED FOR SEPTEMBER 4TH.
THEY ALSO HAVE REFEREED ME TO A DIFFERENT SPECIALIST WHO IS ABLE TO WORK IN SPECIAL GLASSES THAT CAN HELP LEFT-SIDE NEGLECT. THESE GLASSES HAVE FRESNEL / PRISMATIC LENSES ... www.hemianopsia.net/HEMIANOPSIA-EYEWEAR

THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH INTO. ALSO AS A PASSIONATE LOVER OF LIGHTHOUSES FOR MANY YEARS.. I KNOW MUCH OF THESE SMAZING PRISMATIC LENSES AS THEY ARE/WERE WHAT IS IN THE LANTERM OF ALL LIGHTHOUSES ! THIS APPOINTMENT WILL BE AFTER SEEING THE FIRST OPTOMETRIST.

TODAY FOR ME YET GAIN, WAS A DAY OF SOME DISAPPOINTMENT AS I HAD HOPED FOR AT LEAST SOME INSTANT SIGHT HELP. I KNOW THAT WAS NOT A REALISTIC HOPE ! . I KNOW I HAVE COME FAR BUT I NEED TO MEND MORE.

THIS NIGHTMARE DRAGS ON. THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. IT IS A LIFE-RAFT THAT WITH OUT WHICH I WOULD DROWN.

THANKOU
