He said it could be from posture and pinching a nerve or something. He knew a Chiro office that was life changing for him. But get this, the Chiro doesn’t accept insurance and it’s $75 for every 15 minutes you are with him. The first visit takes at least an hour to analyze you.
I decided to look up online what it could be. Turns out it was strain from staring at a monitor all day. I turned the backlight down and changed the color to more yellow. I also downloaded an app that controls the screen for 20 seconds every 20 minutes and forces me to be mindful and focus elsewhere. No more pain.
The optometrist has a license to practice. You can Google the email for the board in your state.
It seemed fly-by-night and janky in there. I should report his ass.
It is particularly absurd that he’d recommend a chiropractor for eyesight. The optic nerves don’t go through the spine.
Do you have a Costco nearby?
I don’t think Costco near me actually has optometrists. They are opticians, but not eye doctors. I usually just get my glasses from Zenni or EyeBuyDirect, although their prices lately seem to match Costco. As far as contacts, I usually go through my old eye doctor, but I moved and need a new source.
Most Costcos have an optometrist separate from their opticians.
I couldn’t find anything about it
Indeed I do.
You really should.
In your specific case you managed to navigate the situation and develop your own therapy.
Imagine if someone had a more complex or serious issue and he referred them to a chiropractor.
