    Blowout Fracture

    Hi all,

    About 3 weeks ago i was sparring and got hit in the eye by an uppercut, I felt something hit the eye itself I think it was a thumb. Anyway I stood back and found I had double vision, it lasted the rest of the day, Next day went to Doctors who then sent me to an Opthamologist they got me to have a CT scan and found i have a minor fracture of the floor of my eye socket.
    There is no muscle entrapment in the fracture which is good however I still have double vision (They call this Diplopia) when i look up. looking straight is ok, as well as left and right and down. but if I tilt my head down and look straight i get double vision. I have an appointment to see them next week, and It's looking more like i will need an operation to correct it. The double vision is caused by my eyes not lining up.

    Just wanted to know if anyone else has ever had this or known anyone who has?
    Needless to say I am out of action for a little and It is really pissing me off.
