I am due for an Irlen tint check soon. Before I can go, I have to
pay $100 for an eye exam, and then I have to get a new frame, which
will cost about the same or a little more. The tint check costs $150
plus shipping and changes that have to be made to my color. In the past
two to three months, I have noticed some of my symptoms returning; I
will probably need a few modifications.
I might be wrong, but I think that my mother isn't very
supportive. She seems to think that it is a scam, and that I am being
taken advantage of. I got my first pair of Irlen lenses last year, and
she was resistant then as well. I thought it would be easier this time
after she saw how I benefited from them, but she seems more resistant
now. She doesn't understand why I have to go back every year. I have
tried to answer her questions, but I don't seem to be doing a very good
job at it. I'm tired of this battle of the wills, and wonder if I will
have to go through this every year.
This past year, I have experinced a significant reduction in
distortions, headaches, and a dramatic reduction in seizure activity. I
don't want to go back to the way it was before. Can anyone offer any
advice to help me make her understand?
