I think contact lenses worked even better than glasses for my son who is now 15. He used to have vestibular and proprioceptive issues when he was younger, before we knew he was nearsighted. He wears the kind of contact lenses that you can sleep in and then throw away after a month. I don't know how old a child would have to be before getting these. But I also think headaches might have been a cause of his issues. I remember him having a headache when he was tested and I know I have sensory issues when I get a migraine.
I think my son's proprioceptive and vestibular issues must have totally disappeared for him to have walked so soon after scoliosis surgery and to not need a walker or any kind of support when he was also under the influence of heavy duty pain medication.
