Day 26 - a step backwards

Well Day 26 was another tale of a bad regression day. I actually had a string of "not-so-great" days in the row, culminating to this. It felt like a normally blurry-ish day for my left eye. While I was at work, I was reading a document that had really some really teeny text. So, it was normally blurry with my left eye. The one thing that I noticed, though, was that it wasn't so much that the vision was blurry, but I saw a slight "ghosting" of the letters. It was like I was seeing double out of my left eye, but the 2nd image was slightly off-center. One sec...I'm gonna try to Photoshop the effect..............

ok...done:




It was only out of my left eye. I think I had barely noticed this weeks ago. Since the "shadow" is just slightly off, it just looks like a blur when looking at most things. But because the text was so small, I was actually able to make out the blur to be a mirror image. This plus Wednesday was a particularly blurry day.

It was a little freaky...but the good thing was that when I opened both eyes, the shadow image went away. The beauty is that when you have two fairly different prescriptions in each eye, I guess the brain just throws out the bad information and keeps the good.

I did plenty of internet research, and it does look like a lot of the cases do resolve over the first 6 months. Of course, there are some cases that say it never goes away...which freaks me out.
I guess time will tell...
