Hydrops nearly clear - strange vision problem
Posted: Sat 24 Jun 2006 3:59 pm
My hydrops has almost cleared in my right eye, just a quarter of the original circle left. Hopefully it will have all gone by my next appointment on 18th July.
When I cover my good left eye and look through the eye with hydrops, the vision - although obviously still a bit cloudy - seems to have less distortion the pre-hydrops. I am hoping when fully cleared, the cornea will be in better shape than it was before!
But when I look using both eyes, the vision is quite bad. It is as though my brain is not pairing up the two images to make one (which I presume happens in a 'normal' person. So, left eye alone = good, right eye alone = cloudy but less distorted than before, both eyes = bad!
It is quite distracting when driving - there's the main line in the middle of the road, then a cloudy one rising up northwest of the original line! For this reason I won't drive in the dark as the contrast between dark and light makes it worse.
I hope this has made sense, has anyone come across this before or heard of it, and will my brain learn to see again?!
