Hello All,

I am cross posting this so I apologize in advance if you see this multiple
times. I have a colleague who was diagnosed with congenital esophoria as an
adult. It began manifesting when she was in college. She uses prism glasses
but she has noticed that her double vision has worsened as she gets older
(15 years later) and every year she suffers more from the motion sickness
that goes with it. At times she will wear a patch when the double vision is
at it's most extreme. Her prism glasses have been strengthened three times
in the hopes she can avoid surgery. The doctor has provided only the
glasses at this time. I have no experience with this and was hoping someone
in the group has worked with an individual who has experienced this. Are
there any exercises she can do that might help? Any information or advise
you have would be greatly appreciated.

Beth
