when I had double vision it was weird.

If I stood out on the street and looked at the painted lines on the road. I'd see the line in one eye going straight, like it was supposed to. In the other eye, that straight line would be going off to the right...so the white line in the street looked like a weird "Y". Made me sick to have my vision like that.

My eye doctor called my neuro, who called my regular doctor and the regular doctor set up an IV of solumedrol for me.

The eye doctor told me to put Scotch tape on the lens of one side of my glasses. (put it on the left lens...apparently that was the eye causing the problem) He said Scotch tape wouldnt damage my lenses. (it didnt) It was also easier than wearing a patch.


The double vision went away about two weeks after having the IVSM.
