[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2315542"] I found the worst part was that each eye drew a different image due to different swelling in each retina. So I ended up with double vision and distortion at the same time, as well as whole sections of the grid appearing to be missing or frosted over. The same line in the grid would wander off in different directions. Sweeping up with one eye and down with the other. The whole thing was pin-cushioned and generally very uncomfortable to look at, especially with both eyes open. Although I could still read text just about ok with each eye, the interaction between the two was nasty and quite sickening at times. Loads of headaches. This interaction is also difficult to describe to an ophthalmologist and cannot be measured or tested. Each eye is assessed individually but this is of little help in evaluating how you actually see the world around you. [USER=531353]@PDR T2[/USER] best of luck moving forward. It can be a soul destroying process of recovery. Inconsistent. Good days and bad days. Flare ups for no apparent reason. I'm still recovering even now. Only advice is as per [USER=52527]@Dark Horse[/USER]. Keep calm and carry on. [/QUOTE]
