Are my scratched glasses lenses making me dizzy?!


Question: Are my scratched glasses lenses making me dizzy!?
I have been chronically dizzy for over a month!. At one point, it was so bad I went to the ER!. They gave me an EKG and CAT scan!. In addition to other health tests I've done in the past year, there is nothing wrong that can yet be found internally that would cause my dizziness!. The dizziness also comes with nausea!.

My glasses are really old and full of scratches!. I can't see clearly through them anymore, really!. My frames are also kinda bent and I am constantly adjusting them on my face!. It would be hard for me to afford new frames and lenses, that's why I haven't just up and run to the optician yet!. I lack vision insurance and am not made of money!.

I'm wondering if having damaged glasses can cause dizziness and nausea!. I am appreciative of any polite and helpful advice!. Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I agree that there is a chance it is causing some of your problems, especially the frames getting out of alignment!. Replacing those could be the cheapest solution to your problem!. I would also consider seeing an ENT (ear nose and throat) doctor to see if your dizziness can be related to problems with your inner ear!. Here's a little info I found on wikipedia that lists otology (ENT) and neuro-otology (specializes even more with disorders causing dizziness) and some disorders that cause dizziness!. Good luck!.

Otology/neuro-otology
Dizziness
BPPV - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
labyrinthitis/vestibular neuronitis
