Perhaps he thought it was better that they be treated together as it both the double vision and dropping lid are symptoms of the same problem.

Honestly, some people don’t think though the consequences of their actions. It’s bad enough when accidents happen when a person is rushing and by brushing past someone they knock them over, but to deliberately push them because you’re running late and causing them a fall is completely unacceptable. I’m so glad you and your friend were ok after this.

Onetime, taking the tube home from work I ran into my downstairs neighbour just before we arrived at Hainault underground station. He himself was loosing his eyesight due to his diabetes and had his white stick with him. As we approach the high concrete stairs we were discussing which of us should really be helping the other down them. We paused for only a second at the first step and I was immediately pushed from behind by a commuter who took offence to be delayed by almost a whole second. Luckily I managed to grab the handrail and stopped myself from suffering a further injury that almost certainly would have otherwise happened. OK so my injury was hidden from them but pushing a guy at the top of the stairs who is helping another that’s carrying a white stick? A stunning display of ignorance and selfishness.

Thanks Maxine. I was also prescribed prism lenses which helped a bit, but didn’t resolve it. It’s definitely worse when I’m stressed but it’s always there, weirdly even if I shut one eye! I guess I’m just special ?

The reason I ask is that there are prism lenses available that will correct double vision from your brain injury. I was prescribed these lenses to use for about six months after my injury. It eventually cleared on its own for the most part with the exception of extreme upward gaze.

Maybe your optometrist can help out?
