Ok, guys.  You remember when I told you guys my right eye looked uneven.  Well it has gotten a lot worse and I am completely google eyed.   I just emailed the surgeon to ask what the hell I should do, I know from reading that sometimes they have to do another surgery on the eye muscle to correct this,  but I still have the swollen eyeball so it is still swollen.  But I went to the doctor yesterday and he said it should not be that uneven.   I'M SCARED YALL.   

Yes the surgery looks good, you can't tell I had it even, but I don't want google eyes.  In the morning that eye is so dam far up you can only see half of my iris.  My vision is being affected cause I see shadows.

I'd be scared too in your position.  Your doc said this shouldn't be happening so what's the next step?   Does he have a treatment plan to get rid of the swelling and get both eyes even again?  

Sorry you're going through this.  I hope its just a variant of normal and will clear quickly.  Your procedure is undetectable and I don't see any google eyes.  Even if its not obvious to others you know how your eyes are supposed to look.  I hope the doc can take care of this non surgically.

You can't see how much higer my left iris in that picture is than my right.  It's a huge difference.

I am still waiting to hear what they say, the swelling may correct it, but they say it should not be that high so it could involve a muscle that may need to be fixed.

I really can't see the difference at all.   Its likely due to the neurological issues that impact my eyes.  To me you look great but I know the issue is there because you and the doc see it.  Fingers crossed its will go down with the swelling.

OK Marcia,  Get a ruler and put it under the right pupil and it will be more than obvious for a blind man to see the huge difference.    LOL. 

The doctor on Saturday said he was very concerned because it is such a difference, he scared the crap out of me.

Seriously, that would scare the crap out of anyone.  Prayers going up for you.

Heck yeah it is scarey,  and everyone keeps asking me what the hell is wrong with my eyes and calling me googles.

Holy **** that's bad.  I never imagined the swelling was so obvious.  My near vision must be tanking again for me to miss it even with a ruler (I tried it). 

When do you go back?  I hope its soon.  Is your vision affected all day or just when you wake?   I'll be praying double for you. 

ETA - Ok duh, I kept measuring horizontally.  I measured vertically and yes its nearly a quarter inch higher on the left of the screen.  I don't see the protrusion but this is not 3D.  However there is no doubt about the verticle measurement.

My vision is shadowy in the morning when I wake up and when my eyeball is looking to the heavens.  I see my plastic surgery on the 28, but my doctor says that I should make an appt with my eye dr before that because of how uneven it is.   So I don't know  what really to do,  I sent pics of my eyes to my plastic surgeon and my eye doctor like they asked and now i'm waiting to hear back, hopefully tomorrow.
