One eyed cyclists . . .

Anyone there? Just wondered what difference it makes if this is forced on you, or if you've had it long term.
The reason I asked is this. My eyes include a little known medical condition. I don't know it's name either, but it'll have one for sure.

They aren't happy together. Both are now very good sight-wise after the usual (!) lens replacements and subsequent YAG follow-ups. But they exhibit different habits. I get double vision when I 'm tired or when I look out the top of my eyes, hence the strange handlebars I concocted to prevent in part, this event. They are a big improvement to comfort, and do permit better vision.
A correction operation at my age wasn't advised, but, in effect, I don't think the optician or the specialist took me seriously. They seemed to have little appetite for my skewed viewpoint.

So I wondered if an eye patch would be beneficial since it would totally alleviate this conflict . . . .shrug. Old age. It has come to this! . . . ha harrr! Long John Silver rides again . .
