    Saw him today. He said *last* time he didn’t know if it was Graves or
    or not that was causing the double vision, grittiness and, redness.
    Today he said, “You know, this is Graves eye desease. I have several patients
    with this. Did you know that one of you eyes sticks out further than the other?”
    (Yeah, I knew.)

    Today he measured my eyes and said one sticks out 5 mm more than the
    other. Is that minor or medium? I know it is not that bad. (I would heard
    it from my Mom if my eyes stuck out that bad.) He said all
    the same things I knew from the BB!! Yeah BB!! Use artificial tears,
    eye lube at night. The double vision has calmed down for now and so
    I’ll stick with the same press-on prisms. He checked my color vision
    and will check again for optic nerve involvement-that is what the
    Humphry Test is for-I did learn that from him. Anyway-that’s it.
    He even asked me if I had any questions. Nope, pretty much had
    a good picture of it from you guys.

    All the information I have learned here has been very helpful.

    Thanks Gang,

    Juls, 5mm is quite a bit of proptosis. I’m surprised it doesn’t seem like it to you.

    Best wishes! Bruce
