Meniere's book

I read this on the menieres.org forum.  Haven't read the book myself or heard of it but this describes what I am currently experiencing perfectly.  The discussion was on burnout.  Supposedly this paragraph describes what happens in the latter stages of Meniere's Disease.  The debilitating vertigo changes into what is described below.  Although, it doesn't apply to everyone.

"This is from her book: Meniere's Diesease What you need to know by P.J. Haybach

Vision
During the course of Meniere's disease, the brain has come to depend on vision for some of the information it used to get from the inner ears.  Any situation that removes or distorts vision may cause some disequilibrium or loss of balance.  Walking with the eyes closed, walking in darkness, trying to look through "stamed" up glasses or goggles, looking through a camera view finder or binoculars or a telescope all have potential for causing problems."
