Thank you greatly for the follow-up and the insight to your route! It’s actually a bit similar to mine — I have followed through with care from neuro-optometry that did result in some prism prescription and reader glasses. I had been regularly using them for management up until I discontinued...

Sincerely appreciate the insight! For some clarification, I want to avoid the surgery completely and the Ortho PA is willing to begin the MEDBOARD process. I'm mostly worried about letting the Ortho PA initiate the MEB process after telling that same Ortho PA that I don't want the surgery that...
