Just to let you know, nothing to discuss about the MRI. All clear.
I visited my ophthalmologist on Monday, and I will be visiting him again on Monday. Nothing is quite so disconcerting as seeing two technicians who look identical asking you questions, so I walked up to the receptionist with my patch over my right eyeball and signed in.
I had wondered how Diplopia Mania was dealt with as a practical manner, aside from my simple technique of closing one eye or wearing a black eye patch. They both have drawbacks. If I try to keep my eye closed, my eyelid gets tired.
The patch can make a sore spot just over my eye.
My eye likes to see light. Strange. And if I put the patch over one eye, and then take it off, I have two images in my head, one rather dim and one very bright.
Monday on my next visit I find out the details and it appears that my difficulty (double vision) will be resolved via the use of a Fresnel Prism. My ophthalmologist said that my problem is from diabetes and my eyesight should return to normal in about three months. The prism will be a temporary fix to move the image from one eye over so it matches the image from the other eye.
I don't really know how they're going to get that to match up perfectly. And prisms break down light into its constituent colors, so I will be able to see things clearly but with a psychedelic halo of some sort.
To think people used to take drugs to see colors. I will for free, and I can take it with me legally.
