Youtube keeps suggesting videos to me and I love this one. This double vision case was not caused by long standing strabismus but is the consequence of a brain aneurysm. Notwithstanding the double vision is just the same... Take a look at this amazing testimony.continue reading →

Before, meaning my whole life, I had to chose between my left and right eye (alternate). The last five years, in a double vision situation, I would see both images but only one eye is really aimed at what I am trying to see while the other one is just…continue reading →
