Question
My daughter's vision therapist comments that there is a lot of "instability" in her eyes. She says she tries one lens in her eye and the eyes focus one way, and then tries another lens and the eyes focus differently. Also she just had an expander placed in her mouth by the orthodontist. Can this potentially affect her vision (ie by moving around the bony structures of her face)?
Answer
I honestly do not think the expander is likely to be contributing to the eyes being unstable. But the very fact that your daughter is in vision therapy is a more likely explanation. People needing vision therapy are more likely to have problems like what your therapist calls "instability." Stick with the therapy and the problem will most likely improve.
