I've had double vision for about 10 years, ever since having surgery to remove a hemangeoma from my left eye orbit. It left me with vision reduced to where I can barely see the big E. However the real problem is that it doesn't track properly, in fact most of the time it's off a bit and some of the time it's way off.
I've tried every type of patching possible, I've found, as long as the eye is open, regardless of whether it can see anything or not, it sends a light message to the brain that still results in double vision, or at least makes things somewhat fuzzy with a bright area right where I'm looking.
I'm told the only way to stop the double vision is to cut the optic nerve. Seems pretty drastic, even if it can't see well, it would provide some vision to move around with in the event of something happening to lose vision in my right eye.
Is the weight of carrying a spare worth the constant struggle, or perhaps something else to try? Pros or Cons of this??
