Minor Improvement

[kevin_standlee]

My eyes still won't focus most of the time, but the offset has decreased. I think that, slowly, my left eye is starting to re-converge with the right. Yesterday, we bought me an eye patch so that I can work at the computer and read more easily. (It's quite tiring to work at keeping one eye closed.) Yes, a photo will be available eventually.

When I injured my face in a fall a couple of years ago, I drove the eye doctors at Addenbrookes crazy. Apparently, my eyes don't actually talk to each other, and probably never have. Sometime in my early childhood my brain developed a coping mechanism. I see out of one eye or the other as needed. That must be why I never looked like I was aiming for the shot I intended to make when playing pool. My right eye has always been weaker than the left, but it didn't cross noticeably unless I was very tired or ill. It is far more obvious now, and I tend to be very self-conscious about it.
