Seeing clearly again

It turned out to be a very good day. I got the vacuuming and the dishes done, and our lawn was mowed as if by magic. It wasn't really magic. We happened to arrive home before the "secret volunteers" were finished, so they were caught in the act.

Linda's new prism came in today and we went to have it fitted. You'll remember that we went back to the eye doctor because her double vision had been improving. What a fitting means is that they hold the prism in front of one of her eyes and turn it until they find the orientation that is best at reducing her double vision. Then they glue it to the inside of her glasses and trim it so it fits nicely.

Linda's double vision has almost completely lost its left-right component (i.e. her eyes track left and right more or less correctly now). She still sees one image slightly above the other. Her new prism does a beautiful job of correcting it. At first the change made her a little uncertain on her feet, but she had adjusted completely within a couple of hours.
