A doctor telling you it is draining properly while upright and not when you are lying down, well that tells me the shunt is not doing what it is intended to do. It is not working and needs to be fixed. Any questions just ask, I am not a doctor, however I think due to the length of time I have had one I may know something.

Thanks Jason,
Yea I went to my eye doctor yesterday and she did say my vision did change a little bit and that she wants me to retake the one part of the visual field test since I apparently missed a few spots next week as well as to dilate my pupils. If these weird vision things do not go away after this Monday and she doesn't see anything wrong then I will go to my hospital and have tests done. I have never woken up and had seen double vision when checking the time on my phone before until 2 weeks ago. I can't even lay down and look at a screen because I will see double. I did however out 2 rolled towels behind my head instead of 1 and did not wake up with a headache this morning.
