It's begining to look a lot like Christmas... um, twice as much.

Or something. I'm healing up from the surgery. It's not pretty, but it's not as ugly as it was. But my brain is still reeling from the change in status of my eyes, and the swelling isn't completely gone, so I still have some double vision, dizziness, and difficulty with balance. Whee. I have to walk more slowly than is my wont, and my depth

Huh, I thought I put that in one of these posts, but maybe not. It's a long explanation. The short (sort of) answer is: strabismus is a muscular eye condition that is usually diagnosed in childhood (not for me) where one or more of the muscles in the eye is weak or strong, and pulls the eye off center. In my case, as the affected eye was the stronger eye, it worked hard to work with my other eye. But I had/have a head tilt to assist my eyes, and I saw crooked, and I had problems seeing things like 3D, as those images never coalesced into one image for me. Also can't use binoculars, stuff like that. And it has been getting worse with age. This surgery was supposed to fix all that, to a degree. We'll see, but the dr said it was already looking better.
