Sorry to hear you had trouble ordering Lon, but very glad you enjoyed your meal. It is sometimes nice to get out alone for a bit. When you described shadow vision it sounded a bit like what I have, and I wondered if you would explain more? I see a lighter version of an image above the first more defined object. Double vision is side to side, this is stacked.
It is a bit, frustrating and my headaches have come back like thundering buffalo. I have this as well. It is more pronounced when I am looking at light colored on dark backgrounds. Especially bothersome on text and signage. For years I get aggravated with my eye doctors, because I do have an astigmatism and always ask for glasses that JUST fix that, even though I need readers. They insist I don't need that. Now I wonder if what I have always thought was caused by my astigmatism is actually shadow vision. What do you think? Why hasn't my eye doctor brought this up to me? Is it worth bringing up to him? My lovable doctor is retiring, and I am sad as I've gone through three doctors I love now, retiring or moving. It's been hard finding someone who understands the iritis. Fortunately I have discovered we have a local specialist, highly recommended, who knows about iritis and AS. I'm calling to see if our insurance covers him. hopehopehopehopehope
Iritis first diagnosed in 1991, presently recurrent and steroid resistant.
Tested HLA B27 positive in 1996.
AS diagnosed October of 2011.
Putting most of my eggs in the NSD and exercise basket, using only TENS, massage, heat and ice, and NSAIDS (sparingly) for pain. Drops for iritis as flare necessitates. Looking back I feel I would have been diagnosed with AS years ago, if I had found a rheumy earlier than 2011.

Here's the song, the way we sing it in California, Lon:
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us!
Drop your quarters, drop your nickels,
We'll pick 'em up and grab the pickles!
Have it your way, have it your way!
If you're seeing one or double
no worries, we'll take the trouble
to serve you right, 'cause you're the King
Lon, you rock, just do your thing!
Have it your way, have it your way!
Ohhh, you went to McDonald's? Hmmm, I don't think they have that song!

Kancie,
My optometrist, said it is not double vision, that would be side to side. When I explained the shadowing, especially of light, it was put off until the exam was done. Then when finding cataracts I was told to make an appointment when i can't see very well, come in and he would refer me.
Last night when watching a video (Andy Stanley) I noticed that I could put pressure on my right eye, on the bottom right, and it would bring my vision back to normal.
All but the very worst disappeared!
It all was so clear!
It is a shadow of the same thing, just lifted up above the object. When it is bad, there are 2-3 of those shadows above the real image.
Kancie, I have been using magnifying glasses from the cheap place when reading at home.....
But the eye and head pain just does not make reading worth it sometimes.
Is this what you??

I think that old "hold the pickles..." song is from Burger King? And if you got a Quarter Pounder, then you went to...McDonalds? Let's see if I can find that song, but I like my King Lon Song.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkY2hRCb0PQ&feature=relatedHope it made you smile, you deserve it. Best wishes for healing....!

Jan,
Smile, I laughed out loud!
I love it when I am surprised like that?
Yes, I remember all the "old songs", cause, you know, I am kind of old......
I don't know if i deserve anything nice. But the love we share here is quite remarkable, isn't it? Not everyone can laugh at them selves as easily as most people here. But you sure pulled the trigger on something funny!
I hope you are having a good day.
Thanks Jan,
Lon

Lon, I also have a form of shadow vision, but only when I am tired. For some reason, I have problems focusing when I am tired and trying to watch TV. I never think to mention it to my eye Dr. As soon as you described it, I thought, thats what I have.
I like all the old jingles also, my memory goes way back. I'm 71, so I have a long time to look back at.
I sure hope that you can find a solution to your problem, it is nice to be able to read without vision problems.

Donna,
a friend in the church, who has MS, gets double vision when she is tired; after a nap or sitting for a spell, she is much better. I plan on getting an appointment soon.
the more I read, the worse it gets...
I am so looking forward to gardening this year!!

Lon, just make sure you kiss the right girl.
If you have any lovely engravings of Ben Franklin I might actually make that long drive to collect a few prints.
If we ever do get around to going to the range I'll bring along my spotting scope so you'll know whether to shoot the high target or the low one.
Shalom,
John
