A diagnosis

Well having seen a couple of Dr's the last 2 days I have a diagnosis. Turns out I have something called 6th nerve optical palsy....and if that sounds a mouthful what it breaks down to is my left eye doesn't work just right. My vision in the stronger right eye is fine but my left eye won't track objects properly to the left side which is causing the double vision. That's like if you look straight ahead and then to the left my right eye does it just fine but my left eye gets so far moving to the left and then just stops.

This happens on a semi regular basis to people and in a lot of cases in about 3 mths it sorts itself out again. Because I've had problems with my left eye before they are trying to get me an MRI just to be on the safe side, lets see what the insurance company thinks otherwise, we give it 3 mths if it doesn't go back to normal then we have to look at treatment options. You have prisms and surgery options available so we shall see what happens I guess.

I can drive I just need to keep my left eye closed while I'm driving which cuts out the double vision problem, I have 20/20 vision in my right eye so I won't need glasses to drive good job it wasn't the other way around coz my left eye doesn't see so good and I'd need corrective glasses for that one.

All in all I'm happy enough with things I do get tired at the end of the day and I have a tendency to get a headache as well as it's just weird to be seeing like this. But at least we a diagnosis and I know that I'm not going crazy imagining things got to say at one point I did think this was just in my head.
