Hi Reagan - sorry about the eyes.
I've been having some issues with double vision after working at a screen for hours and it's disconcerting and annoying. My best wishes for a quick recovery.
We miss our "naughty boy"

Peter,
mine is an auto-immune disease called
Myasthenia Gravis you might want to research it a little
just to be careful
At one point I was doing graduate research on myasthenia gravis and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Hope there's more understanding and treatment of such diseases than in my prior life in science.

Mine is called "Ocular" MG it has never spread past my eyes
The meds had it under control for the last 3 years until we started cutting back on them in January
Reagan,
I'm sorry to learn of your recent trajectory concerning your health - hope they get you back to feeling normal asap.

That's a real bummer, Reagan.
Fortunately my eye issues are the culmination of years of myopia corrected by glasses, then contacts, then Lasic surgery and finally cataract surgery with lens replacement.
One of the results of the Lasic is corneal astigmatism which the brain deals with at most times. However, when I get a bit tired the muscles relax and I end up with a bit of a squint. It can be corrected using prismatic lenses but I've been advised to avoid these.
It's not the end of the world and is one of the irritants that one has to live with as we approach 80
Thinking about you and hoping that the docs can help you.

Reagan,
Sorry to hear this.
Let's hope a re-appraisal of the meds gets you back to where you were.
Actually, what Peter described is known as Computer Vision Syndrome. It scared me so bad one day as I was driving on a highway that I took myself to the ER. They sent me to a specialist who told me it was this. It's not good when you're not sure which set of lines on the highway are the right ones...
(This was way back in the day when I was a network admin and DID spend all day in front of a computer screen)

A Downy Woodpecker sinking his beak into a Lilac shot with the D7200, 300mm f2.8 ais, modified TC-16a @iso 1600. I was planning on getting rid of this rarely used lens, but thought I would check and see some of the images from this year where I did use it.
I went to my favorite after work trail yesterday evening. Here are a couple shots of common milkweed. Native to this part of the country and the sole food source for monarch butterfly larvae. Really glad to see these growing in the wild.
