Dear Will, As a newbie, I dont feel qualified to answer your question but it is certainly an observation that is worthy of attention. I hope someone here will offer you some comments on this. Might we worth a visit to your neuro with your daughter since the truth of your eye problem is out of the bag, could make the dx road easier for her. I hope it is not PD but that might be a thought. Thank you so much for responding. Jenifer Will A.
