The experience one gets from sleeping on one side of the face the whole night is a disconcerting albeit temporary case of double-vision when one wakes up. This is attributed to the slight misalignment of the eye. However, the body usually recognises this problem and restores balance in a blink of an eye, literally - I apologise for the pun. A similar but worse situation is when that double vision occurs not from two eyes out-of-sync but in one eye alone, no thanks to the slight swelling of eye tissue, being a result of Grave’s Disease. Sadly to say, this condition isn’t as temporary as the first case mentioned and I can attest to this from personal experience. You know the line from the Book of Corinthians that says that as we grow up we see through a glass darkly? Well I see now not just darkly (at least that’s what I think) but doubly too (ouch that was so not funny). Thankfully, only one eye is afflicted so with both eyes I can still read and see things almost the way they should be seen.
