Hi to everyone I had a detached retina last march /april -ops to reattach it which were successful but am left with diplopia (double vision -not well corrected despite having prism spectacles) and even without out that, very little vision in left eye. At the time it happened, I was calmly babysitting my sleeping grandchildren -I am 57. I do not have any risk factors (high BP etc) and docs are at a loss to explain it, as am I. In fact, my main eye surgeon looks at me a little strangely...he is super experienced and thinks I am an odd case. He keeps a close eye on my 'good' eye because he thinks this is a little strange. Any ideas as to cause and how I could regain some sight in left eye? I am coping all right. Nothing dramatic was happening in my life at the time.

Normally I would understand this as having had a sense of separation from someone close to you in your life. If you are right-handed, I would say separation from a female. If you were left-handed I would say a male.
The double vision tells me that the male eye and the female eye are not in good communication, and I would wonder which male and which female are not in communication, concerning what was going on in your life when the symptom began.

Thanks Martin, Food for thought...
When you write 'which female and which male...' does that mean the female in question is me or possibly someone else? I am right -handed and live close to the closest female in my life, my daughter. I did/do not suffer from a sense of separation from her although I do worry about her as she has a lot of problems which can be solved only by her.
I am especially interested in your interpretation as the specialists say there is no muscle problem and cannot see a reason for the diplopia.
Aside from worry about her, which is always with me, nothing was going on that was new at that time that I can think of. many thanks.

I would then wonder about some sense of separation from her. If the vision in your female eye is affected, and we describe the symptom from the point of view that you created it, we would have to say that you have been keeping yourself from seeing the female, within the context of what was happening in your life when the symptom began.
Could it be something about not seeing yourself as a female, whatever that means to you, in terms of being available for a partner in your life?
We can also look at it as the emotional eye, and therefore having something to do with not wanting to see what your emotions have been at that time.
Seeing double, though, still means to me that you have two different views of something. I would ask how you feel about attracting a partner in your life.

Excuse me if I'm interrupting...
When you see double, is one of the views right and the other one wrong? Do they have to "mix" to make the "right" perspective, or is there a third alternative/perspective that is best? Maybe there's not a general answer to this. In your experience, Martin, what have you seen as the solution when someone sees double?

In my case, I have binocular diplopia which means each eye sees the image in a different place. When one eye is closed, there is no diplopia (that would be called monocular diplopia). I have been happily married for 34 years I have often wished for more separation from her as she is a problem. But as there are children involved, stay close for their sake. But this is nothing new....has been like this for at least 10 years (not with the children). I am a meditator and a healer (I have also had formal medical training) as well. I am well aware of my emotions...but I tend to allow them to come and go on their own. And they do. Two different views? I wonder what this really means. I am aware of a multiplicity of views, but recognise them as views only. I wonder if it is significant that I was in her house when it happened-she was not at home but there would have been no escaping her intense aura. I have been wishing I could take the children and we happily would, except they love and need their mother now so I am in a position of constantly trying to support their togetherness for the children's sake. I don't think she would care that much. She is very unstable. But again, that is nothing new. The doctors have done their best but I am wondering if there is any way to make an improvement. Thanks very much for any input.

The "her" is your daughter, I would imagine - and I would consider that these tensions in your consciousness about her need to be resolved. Sounds like "she" is the female you do not want to see. I would say that there is indeed a sense of separation from your daughter.
See if you can see her through your eyes as a healer - because you know that when we function as a healer we do not judge, but just see what it is that needs to be healed. If she came to you for a healing, what would you do, and what would you say to her?

Maybe there's not a general answer to this. In your experience, Martin, what have you seen as the solution when someone sees double? I'm curious about "double vision", too. My mother had this a while back. Is it right and left (male and female, will and feeling) not communicating? Right and left "each on their own"? in "audio language" there's "stereo" and "mono", and, for the listener, the, so called, "stereo image" is at the centre of the "sound specrum"... where right and left harmoniously mix, and where you get the "whole (sound) picture". Would the solution be to find a way to get yin and yang to harmoniously communicate again? And (obviously) the audio example would relate to right/left communication regarding throat chakra issues, whereas in "double vision", I suppose it would relate to solar plexus chakra issues... right? (And, in your case. Victoria, communications problems with your daughter in the area of freedom/power/being yourself?).

I see it as the male eye and the female eye not communicating and working together, the right brain and left brain (also male and female) not communicating.
Communication needs to be established.
