Tip visual sensory overload

Taking time out (sensory overload in autism and epilepsy)

Even if you have no symptoms with eyes it's important to rest over lunch break. Even use blackout curtains, lay down, close eyes and rest. Cool cucumber slices may be soothing to place over the eyes.
May try relaxing by breathing and focus on an arm, do not tense the arm just allow it to relax, go through various limbs.

With sensory overload, the same applies is need to rest before overwhelmed and head for a meltdown. Breathing in and out slowly, may stretch leg muscles or massage shoulders to reduce stress.

We use our eyes all day and have lights on at night too, so see how your body is telling you it is feeling. Now there's vitamins for eyes and vitamins for bones and muscles so to combine these vitamins is to bridge the constant feedback from eyes to body movements and communication between eyes and body all day.

retinopathy. Associated with neurological disorders or sensory stimulus such as diabetes and epilepsy and a major cause of visual impairment and blindness, retinopathy develops when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in your retina.


Why and background
These carotenoids are essential for retinal function and protect your eyes from oxidative stress. The retina sits at the back of the eye and transmits the light that enters the eye to the brain where it’s translated into images.

Lutein and zeaxanthin also help reduce eye strain from too much blue light exposure from your phone or computer. They can only be derived from food and are found in green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale.

You need to lookup vitamins for health...
For eyes and bones or muscles
Try (magnesium n calcium) or (zinc and manganese) and something for eyes
 
Several studies have shown that the ketogenic diet does reduce or prevent seizures in many children whose seizures could not be controlled by medications. Over half of children who go on the diet have at least a 50% reduction in the number of their seizures. Some children, usually 10-15%, even become seizure-free.

(Diet for type 2 diabetes as well)

I'm currently assessing that a small percentage of people with epilepsy have this condition triggered via eyes (are these people on spectrum?) Is it an affect from neuro side.
The vast majority don't have maybe sensory triggers and are only epileptic.

Does anyone else have feedback
 
Purpose: Optical recording of intrinsic signals provides the highest combined spatial and temporal resolution with broad spatial sampling for measuring cerebral blood volume (CBV) and hemoglobin oxygenation in cerebral cortex. Few opportunities arise to apply this laboratory method to record spontaneous seizures in unanesthetized human brain during neurosurgery. We report such a rare opportunity in a man with recurrent focal epilepsy arising from a cavernous malformation.

Methods: We recorded intrinsic optical signals (IOS) from human cortex intraoperatively during spontaneous seizures arising from brain surrounding a small cavernous malformation in an awake patient using only local anesthesia with simultaneous electrocorticography. The IOS was recorded at two wavelengths, one an isosbestic point for hemoglobin to measure CBV (570 nm) and the other at a wavelength more sensitive to deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hbr) (610 nm). A modified Beer-Lambert calculation was used on two separate but similar seizures to approximate changes in Hbr, CBV as well as oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO(2)).

Results: Electrographically recorded seizures (n = 3) elicited a focal increase in both Hbr and CBV that lasted for the duration of the seizure, indicating that perfusion was inadequate to meet metabolic demand. Remarkably, these hemodynamic changes preceded the onset of the seizures by approximately 20 s and occurred focally over the known location of the lesion and the seizure onsets.

Discussion: These findings demonstrate that the hemoglobin becomes deoxygenated in spite of large increase in CBV during spontaneous human focal seizures and that optically recorded hemodynamic events can be used both to predict and localize human focal epilepsy. Such data may someday be useful to assist in the presurgical evaluation of patients considered for epilepsy surgery and to predict the timing and location of seizure onsets
