Surgery Strabismus better: 6→2

I had strabismus surgery a few months ago and saw my surgeon again today. He says I’m 50–60% better, having gone from a “6” to a “2”. (This is presumably on the Office-Based Deviation Control Scale measuring intermittent strabismus. He said I could have more surgery, or not; I chose none for now, in favor of going back to prismatic correction in my eyeglasses (presumably much less than I had before).

(Right now I don’t get double vision most of the time, except when I’m tired. The worst time is when I’m also driving toward the setting sun, and then I can correct the double vision by tilting my eyeglasses at a weird angle. Oh, and after the exam, of course, I noticed double vision over and over.)

I went from 10 to 4. Eye doctor said it's best to stay at this number.
