[Trainer-talk] double vision software

[laotab]

I had asked if she tried that and she said it does not help.  that each eye
has a different visual perception and each cornea has ridges.  She tried
hard contacts but the ridges cause air pockets and they pop out.  glasses do
not help.  contrasting color and light changes do not help.
And she said "moist air" seems to make the rainbows and prisms worse.  Such
as a cloudy day or boiling pasta...I was lost on that one.  and she said you
don't really have to see that well to get your license.
JAWS seems to be the best option for her and it would be fine for short text
but not a long text or information to retain.  She says she has a problem
even reading print and retaining it due to her comprehension issues.

I am spinning with this one.

Why is she not patching  one of her eyes to stop the double vision?
