The deal is this...

So the girlie went to her appointment, they checked her vision: 20/30. Normal.

Then they check the alignment of her eyes: overactive obliques, left, inferior blah blah blah. Bottom line... Her eye muscles have been screwy from day one. Surgery helped but cannot fix this problem. I knew this, but expected too much.

When her left eye goes all flooey her brain shuts it down. Flick, like a switch. The whole brain shutting down the eye thing would have been permanent (i.e. blind in one eye) if we had not had the first and probably the second surgeries. One eye would become much too strong and the weak one would be shut off. Now her eyes are aligned way more than most of the time so they work together and one won't get much stronger than the other.

So she can be a sniper just like I've always dreamed.
