Not really surprising since you limited the examination and she couldn't really look inside the eye ball.might need to see a specialist for extensive examination.
Go back and let them dilate your eyes so they can see back there. Have someone else drive you if that's an issue. (I've never had an issue driving after dilation...I just wear sunglasses).

Yes, I think I do. I'll be going back to get the eyes dialated. However, I'm concerned that the doctor said there is no way I can have double vision in both eyes. In fact I had it tonight again with triple vision this time. I even found something simliar to describe it while googling. I think it can be described as:

Yeah, one of my symptoms is sensitivity to bright lights so that is why I didn't have them do it as I didn't want the extra sensitivity and attempt to drive without having someone else to drive me. I'll be going back to get it done.
I think I meet the symptoms of Uniocular diplopia.
Take a look at the nutrients our eyes need on a daily basis and see whether you get those or not. Some nutrients protect the eye from harmful ultraviolet and blue light rays, and others reduce oxidation. One called cyanidin-3-glucoside was found to increase night vision in clinical trials.
There are eye supplements for those who can't get enough of those nutrients from their food. You may also benefit from eye excercises and some people use pinhole glasses. I'm not sure about whether pinhole glasses offer any long term benefit but they are an inexpensive tool. Ive also heard many cases of people who experienced improved eyesight after Iodine supplementation.

Thanks QuestofTruth. I definately am on the nutrition route. I have been taking vitamin A but have to watch out for toxicity due to the fat solubility of it. I'm also taking a multivitamin and taking a bit extra zinc. I also have blue filtering gamma ray glasses and some reading glasses. I also take Astaxanthin.
I noticed something new last couple nights. If I used warm compresses I could reduce the number of polyoptic attributes. I often see from double to tripple (lights only it seems) and was able to use this to rather quickly reduce triple to double then to single last night. This leads me to believe the problem is related to tension in the eyes. I know my eyes get dry but they are not overly dry but definately experiencing tension. I think reducing the tension helps. I know that days when I use the reading glasses the problem is less of an issue compared to when I don't use them.
I am beginning to think the only real fix is going to be adequate rest for my eyes. I think the best way to describe this is that when I'm on my computer all day it strains my eyes much like someone that goes and lifts weights - their muscles are then inflamed and larger due to the workout. But this inflamed eye stress causes it to be very difficult to then shift focus to far away objects because it is seems it is hard or difficult for the eye to fight against that tension of the eye muscles being "flexed" still. I also took an anti-inflamatory last night and noticed it sped up the relief. I may try to add more magnesium to aid in muscle relaxation.
Ok, I think I'm on the right track with my own analysis of my eye problem. I do believe that Computer Vision Syndrom has led me to the condition I'm in. I believe as I stated before that eye straing (flexing of the eye muscles) is causing some of the problems that I have been experiencing. But as I stated before I could not explain the photophobia part (bright light sensitivity). I think I now have an idea that it may be a built in defense mechanism. I think maybe the photophobia exist as the body's way of telling us to reduce eye strain so the eyes can get extended relief. The question is how much relief and how to implement the relief to prove that case.
Ok, I think my eye problems are not sourced in the eye but maybe my liver. I get dry mouth alot even though I'm well hydrated and have a humidfier. I recently learned that chronic dry eye maybe related to a fatty liver which I do have. Even recently I began to have pains in the top right quadrant. So going to fix that and hope it helps my eyes.
It is VERY hard to diagnose one's self. I am wondering what your age is, say under or 35 just to start. My eyes have always been sensitive to bright light. I have hazel eyes which I think accounts for some of the issue. I have worn glasses for 51 years. We just had an eye exam at Wal-Mart (this guy is good) and they used a machine to see in the eye rather than drops which I no longer allow so I was delighted by that. The eye is SO complicated.

I'm in my 40's.
