PONNED school!!

Haha… didn’t go to school today. PON!!
Well not really pon lah. Had an eye appointment at the doctor’s actually. Wasn’t intending to be gone the whole day but … oh well… not disappointed that the appointment took so long anyways.
Well, went and did the usual checks. Only thing was, I made it known that I saw double image at certain angles and that was what caused the extension in the eye check up. Usually I would ignore the fact that I saw double images, but today dunno why I told the doctor. Thus, did some checks and they found out that I had diplopia. Was really quite a simple test actually. They had me put on a special type of specs with red and green lens and asked for me to look at an image ahead. I saw three red images and two green ones and just told them lols. Then it was confirmed that I had diplopia! Was really puzzled but when I removed the specs, I realised why. There was only one red image and one green image on the screen. LOL!! So I was seeing double images. Not that I wasn’t aware of it of course.
Did some more tests with a sort of prism thingy with varying angles of inclination of the prism. Guess that was probably to vary the amount of light reaching my eyes. So they just checked whether I was seeing double images using the different prisms and also asked if I could focus the image back to one.While most of the time I still could, at some point I couldn’t focus it to one image anymore. No matter how I tried. Guess that was what they were looking for.
After that decided to do the report for my NS too so further extended the time. Further tests revealed something much more interesting. Apparently my brain isn’t processing images from the left eye or smth and so literally I’m seeing with only my right eye. Thus, all the mystery of the puzzling findings about my eyes all resolved in one day. And all because I withheld some information lols. Due to that, was told that may have to downgrade PES. Guess it came as no surprise. Been expecting that! Was told to continue wearing my specs and left.
