DS has been developing migraines over the past few weeks and I am thinking about taking him to the optician. After observing and chatting to him about these migraines I have noticed they seem to come on whilst he is reading music. It didn't really cross my mind that it could be music score related as I thought it may be an excuse to get out of music practice, but he is developing headaches whilst singing Evensongs as well and he has no symptoms when reading other texts or doing school work. I was just wondering if when I mention it to the optician, he will think I am a loon or this is a common problem amongst musicians and it can be solved through glasses.

Well I feel very guilty. I took DS to an optician and when he was asked to read the top line with his right eye he could not see a thing - not even the board! So, his brain has been working extremely hard to see with one eye. I just don't know how he didn't notice before. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) And without music lessons his vision problems might not have been diagnosed for years, if at all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As others have said, don't feel guilty. By the time I had my elder daughter's eyes tested she was minus 2.5 in both eyes. And certaintly in her case it was music that finally prompted me to do something about it - she kept wanting the music stand closer and it had got to the point where I couldn't move it any closer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) But her teacher had assured me that she was sitting right at the back of the classroom and could see the blackboard perfectly well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) |
