advice for double vision...
« on: July 02, 2008, 08:31:50 pm »
hi all,

I am one month post surgery and along with facial paralysis (left) i have double vision which is really nasty.

I did "see" and opthomolgist 2 weeks ago and she said wear an eye patch (duh.... i was wearing one already!). I am wondering...

do you know, or have you been told ...

- does wearing a patch make it harder for eyes to sort themselves out?

- how long does it take for this to fix (if not in the first few days), or does it?

- is there anything else i could try to deal with this, correct it?

THANKS

Trish
