Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.

I noticed that you have posted a number of times in the past and, even though you have received answers, you have not accepted them and -- as such -- the experts have not been compensated for helping you.......What is your intention today?

If you look on the internet you can find a large number of groups that offer "eye exercises, therapy and instruments" to solve your problem.

They are all a scam. Every one of them.

That may be correct, but you have to press the accept button or the experts doesn't get compensated. There are many plans but on some of them you just pay one fee no matter how many questions you ask or how many times you press the accept button. You can check with customer service to learn how your plan works.

Then only thing you can do, and you have already started it, is to stay off the drugs. If your having problems with near vision, go to the dollar store and pick up some "cheaters". If your distance vision is blurry, consult with an ophthalmologist to figure out what is going on and, if necessary, get glasses.

After two decades of being an eye surgeon I can tell you that this is the only thing that works. Don't waste your money on other therapies....

Does this make sense to you?

I'm also glad I could clear up how the site works for you :-)

I've heard that it can be pretty confusing from a number of folks....

Weakened is not a good word...they may just be affected.......

The eye doesn't get weak like a muscle etc...

Then the best thing you can do is have a complete eye exam by an ophthalmologist (eye MD); I would expect she would be able to get to the bottom of your difficulties maintaining proper focus and gaze.

It is hard to tell what exactly is going on with you with "chat" as my only diagnostic tool. In my experience, if you have been off benzo's and all other drugs for 5 months I very much doubt they are the cause of your ocular difficulties.

Yes. I am a retina surgeon

a sub-specialist in ophthalmology. I also taught at a Medical School for a number of years.

I'm sure you can understand the limitations of chatting on the internet. But I am fairly confident that your use of benzo's five months ago is not what is causing your current issues.

I hope you feel better soon.

And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)

I hope that this information was helpful for you. Please, allow me get credit for my time and effort in assisting you and please give me positive feedback for this assist. I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you very much.

Positive Feedback and/or Bonus is welcomed and appreciated.

The length of time you were on them, seeing how you have not touched them in 5 months, means that all the drug is completely out of your system. I know you strongly believe that they are what is causing your eye problems -- and a complete eye exam will find out if this is indeed true -- but I'd bet it will turn out to be something else.

My pleasure. Have a good weekend.
