Vertigo and contact lenses
Apr. 26th, 2010 12:07 pmThe vertigo is mostly gone these days, but I had a recent resurgence which is revealing in its way.
I've been having to having to re-acclimatise myself to contact lenses after the problems I had with amitriptyline. I'm most of the way there now (I can wear them for about ten hours a day now), but I noticed an immediate return of the vertigo when I started wearing them again after a two-month break.
Clearly my eyes and balance system were confused by the change in focal length, etc. Using glasses is a bad trigger at present, with or without lenses, clearly all part of the same issue.
It's starting to settle down now that I've been using the lenses for a couple of weeks, but the vertigo still triggers if I move my head while wearing glasses. I'm hoping that too will wear off in a few more weeks. (It's a real bind when trying to look at my character sheet in RPGs.)
