Joan Had Double Vision. Then She Called Bay Eye Center.

She had surgery to correct it, but she slowly noticed it returning.

Meet Joan, a long-time Bay Eye Center patient with double vision.

Last summer, Joan's double vision got to the point where she had to wear an eyepatch just so she could drive.

“I noticed I was driving with one eye shut more often than I was comfortable with. For safety reasons, I put it on.”

At the time, the quick fix was wearing the eyepatch. But eventually, it caught up to her.

“It’s very tiring to drive with an eyepatch on. It’s a lot of strain.”

So, Joan decided to give Dr. Timothy Lynch at Bay Eye Center a call. Dr. Lynch spent a lot of time with Joan to make sure everything worked out and ultimately recommended Joan try scleral lenses, a special contact lens to correct her double vision. And they worked!

“It was an immediate relief. I was able to drive with both eyes again. Thank you, Dr. Lynch!”

Not only was Joan safer behind the wheel, she was able to enjoy the things she loves most. She spends winters in Arizona, where she loves to hike. Joan also has season tickets to the University of Arizona’s basketball team. And you need good vision for that, too.

“I can also watch TV again. If I wanted to watch Netflix, I had to watch it on my Macbook rather than TV, but not anymore.”

We’re happy we were able to help Joan get her freedom back that she had lost when needing to wear an eyepatch for everyday activities. If you’re having double vision or other eye issues, or if you haven’t had an exam for a while, contact Bay Eye Center and schedule an exam!
