Glasses

I am interested to know how many of you who have bad seizures wear glasses for either reading or long distance. Do you get headaches prior the seizure? I guess what I am getting at is has your optician diagnosed your eye problems correctly and put the right lenses in your glasses?

I think vision plays big role in epilepsy, so if you are prescribed glasses it is very important to stay on top of that I myself have issues when I'm reading at times the small letters can become kind of blurry lines In spirals set off migraines and worst case scenario seizure.

I wear glasses for long distance. Whenever I get the aura before I have a seizure, I take my glasses off so they don't get broken.

Do you need glasses @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member? Do you not trust doctors? What are you asking this?
