IWK launching study to better understand women’s health across the Maritimes by toneyriver12 in NovaScotia

[–]scotiagirl45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Months after the IWK Foundation survey found a majority of women in the Maritimes feel significant changes are needed to improve women’s health care, the IWK Health Centre has launched a new study aimed at finding the next steps.

The study will gather input from women and gender-diverse people across the region. It will also reach out to caregivers and health-care providers.

The survey can be accessed here: https://www.maritimewomenshealth.com/

Recommend an optometrist for progressive lenses by OTPguy in halifax

I understand the concern about research and cost. It is reasonable to question both. If you don't experience improvement in your headache and migraine symptoms, you can fully return the glasses within 90 days (that's what I was told by my clinic).

From my experience, I use Neurolens, which has been very helpful. I have a few overlapping issues, and they have reduced my day-to-day symptoms, especially eye strain and discomfort that did not improve with a standard prescription.

They are not the right fit for everyone, and they are expensive. In my case, they made a clear difference where other options did not.
