Jumping Vision

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have been experiencing jumping/double vision in my right eye for a about 2 years now. I'm 25 years old. Its my vision that's the problem, my eye doesn't twitch.

Background Story: 

I was diagnosed with a squint when i was 5 and got glasses to correct that. It helped a lot and my eyes looked normal after that. Been wearing glasses full time since then.  

I remember a pulling/shifting feeling in my vision like they wanted to go double around age 13 and again in high school but it went away and was nothing that bad - The optometrist said i just needed a new prescription for my glasses.

Then around 2016 it started happening more frequently. I went to a specialist and did tests. In the end we decided strabismus surgery was the best option. I got the surgery and my double vision had improved alot on the tests but now im still getting these symptoms.

 

I feel like my vision isn't going double as much anymore. Lately its jumping more. I would describe it as jumping/pulling/shifting feeling - Its like my eye just looses focus and then does its own thing. I happens when im looking around and focusing on objects. I have found blinking a few times and also tilting my head helps to make my vision normal again. It comes and goes - sometimes it wont happen for days and then it returns.

I went to another specialist for a 2nd opinion and she doesn't have any diagnosis for it yet. She prescribed me muscle relaxant drops to use twice a day for 2 weeks in my right eye. Will see if that helps.

Any advice/ similar experiences would be appreciated.
