Multiple specialists & ongoing vertigo

When I came to Eye Care North to see Dr. Lam, I had been experiencing severe bouts of vertigo, chronic migraine, nausea, neck pain, and light sensitivity for many years. I was able to find relief from many of the migraine symptoms through the help of a neurologist, but the vertigo was worsening over time. Over the years, I had seen my PCP, two ENTs, numerous neurologists, and two neuro-otologists. I went through several MRIs, Electronystagmography (ENG), and hearing tests. The good news was that there was nothing these specialists could find that was causing the extreme bouts of vertigo…but there was not a good course of action to help relieve the symptoms, either. Motion sickness medications and low salt diets made little difference. I had tried specialty sunglasses, prescription glasses, regularly scheduled massage, and chiropractic medicine. Some of these helped slightly, but only for a limited time.

Vertigo always returned, and it was becoming dangerous to drive myself to work. Since I began wearing the prism glasses prescribed by Dr. Lam, all of my symptoms have decreased significantly, and the vertigo is almost completely gone. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Lam and her entire staff; because of them, my quality of life has improved greatly. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She truly cares about her patients.
