Eye Doctors

Talk to me about eye doctors.

We have an appointment tomorrow because some of us struggle with our vision. But when ever we have appointments, who ever is fronting at that time (mostly a protector) doesn’t have trouble seeing and so our tests all come back normal.

Do we tell them we have DID? We don’t have an “official” diagnosis on our record.

We just don’t know how to go about this and get the help we need.

P.s doctor’s appointments do cause us stress and there’s some trauma there as well.

I’m not sure if this makes sense but hopefully it does.

Dr appointments of any type can be stressful especially ones that interrupt routines

For sure. Some of us just really want to see better…so we have to way the pros and cons… it sucks.

Hmm, it sounds like your protectors are coming out for a reason during these appointments - maybe tracking down why they feel the need to front, and then asking them to step back could help?

Once you get your results back (assuming you need only minor corrections), maybe getting a pair of reading glasses could help! That way, you only have to wear them as you need them?

It probably is a good idea to sit down and have a talk about it….im still in denial ( main fronter ) so that’s hard for me.

The ones who have trouble have trouble with long distance ☹️

I'm wondering if some vision problems could be to do with derealization. I wear glasses and notice how my vision changes from really sharp to quite blurry very quickly, and when it's blurry there's often more derealization. Like, it's hard for you to focus your vision.

Don't know what eye doctors could do about that but I'm curious to hear if anyone has fixed their vision problems through something external.
