Hey all,

I still do not know the results from my ENG! I finally will get the results on Wed. I am feeling slightly better. I notice that my anxiety has subsided a little, my vision has somewhat improved, and that I am definitely not as dizzy. What I do notice though is that I can hardly see in the dark. I am doing much better in the light, almost normal in fact, but now I can hardly see once the sun goes down and it starts to make me dizzy. When I wake up in the morning it takes 20 minutes for my eyes to adjust, and when the sun goes down I feel spinny and like I'm gonna go blind. Does/did anyone else experience this? I also notice that at night I start to get pain on the top of my eyes. I went to the opthalmologist twice and she said my eyesight was good on both visits. I am a little nervous that I will never be able to enjoy a dark restaurant or concert or play or lounge again. Any thought? Also how does it usually take for the eyes to readjust?

Thanks so much for yor help,
Kendall :yawn:

Funny you should say that, I have been recovering from my dizziness and balance problems for about 2 months and i feel almost normal, but today I have had some vision problems because i have been studying a lot lately and now i feel out of it again. not really dizzy though. i have floaters a lot.

Kendall,
What you are feeling is totally normal. What happens with any kind of vestibular malfunction is that the brain relies more heavily on visual references for balance due to the injury to the vestibular system. When your vision is hampered by dark surroundings your body loses that sense that it is now relying so heavily on. VRT exercises will help you cope with this. A lot of closed eye exercises teach your body how to find its' natural balance without visual cues.
