One of my favorite quotes from a patient, " I feel normal!" I wondered what she meant. What is normal. Normal to me may be different than someone else. Sometimes a discomfort is our normal because we don't know any different. We just deal and think everyone may feel this.
This young woman never felt steady on her feet. She described it as "swimmy". She had searched for an answer for many years but all her doctors told her that she was fine. She just accepted that the swimmy feeling was her "normal". She thought she would just have to live like that. As fate would have it, she came to me right after I trained with Dr. Debby.
She had a clear case of vertical heterophoria. As soon as she got her prism glasses, she shouted out now I feel normal! The swimmy feeling was gone. Her whole family calls me the Vision Godess now!
