I have had double vision for over a month. Steroids offered me no relief so neuro sending me for prisms. I know nothing about them. How do the work? What do they look like? Will I have to wear them forever or will they help my brain adjust? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
When I was first diagnosed I was having trouble with my eyes. They progressively got worse. My neuro sent me to a specialist at the Cleveland clinic and he said he couldn't help me. My eyes felt like they were moving all over the place. I got to the point I didn't want to keep my eyes open. A year later I went to my local eye Dr. for an exam. He said he could help me by putting prisms in glasses. The first time I put them on I thought I was seeing things in HD. I loved them. They kept my eyes in place and, I could see better. You can't even tell they are there. I used to wear contacts, never did like glasses, but I don't mind now that I could see.
The machine they hook you upto can be used for many procedures. For donating platelets and other procedures.
For me they took out a certain white blood and returned my plasma.
Three days in, my eye sight improved.
I mean Apheresis
So, @A MyMSTeam Member, this is what you mean?
Aphoresis - withdrawal of blood from a donor's body, removal of one or more blood components (as plasma, platelets, or white blood cells), and transfusion of the remaining blood back into the donor —called also pheresis
Sorry about the spelling.
Apheresis.
