I failed the circle test so they had me do a “six part test” where they apparently do every test they can to see what is wrong with my eyes. I was able to see the wings on the fly and some of the animals stick out with the polarized glasses, but I was not able to see the shapes.

The problem I have is my right eye sees everything about 14 degrees lower than my dominant left eye. Because of the misalignment, by brain ignores the image from my right eye. My doctor gave me glasses with prism in the lenses to reduce the separation angle, but now I have to teach my brain to combine the images from both eyes together. If I consciously try to combine both images, I can pass a few tests. The problem is the eye examiner for the Air Force could see that I had to really try to combine the images myself, so she new that I was having trouble.
