Activity   10 consciousness

Client has inability to focus   so has   constant   double vision

He   has to concentrate to bring   both images   together.  This lapses when it   can no longer be done - any thoughts   on whether   or not he   might score any points re Activity 10?

He   has   no control over when this   occurs I would therefore argue   it   is involuntary,

Thanks   in advance

Could the problem be corrected or alleviated by the use of appropriate spectacles or contact lenses?

No he   has tried this to no avail it   is a problem which he   is   not   going to improve and   can   only   be amnaged with the use   of rest   and exercises.

He spends roughly   half each   day resting   his eyes

Does his condition actually invove loss of consciousness or altered consciousness, rather than just visual disturbance? Have you considered descriptor 8, which deals with sensory deprivation?

IMHO this wouldn’t come under Activity 10. What your person is experience doesn’t sounds more like a sensory impairment caused by a physical difficulty with focusing than episodes of altered consciousness.

So the brain is correctly processing imperfect data. Contrast with the opposite situation where the eyes are working fine and sending the right information back but which is then interpreted incorrectly by the brain.
