Hi. In the past few years, it seems I've developed a problem with how my eyes work together. Individually, they see ok, but together the images they see are shifted. I've seen two different Dr's trying to figure out why my new glasses (with several remakes tweaking the rx) give me headaches and I feel like one eye is doing most of the seeing. I'm in a 6yr old pair of glasses that are super scratched. I'm paranoid now about getting new glasses because the optometrists couldn't figure it out before. The most recent dr figured that I should get prism in my lenses. Any advice?

Truthfully, I have some days where it's not noticeable and other days where it's very noticeable. I work on the computer most of the day, but the symptoms are present throughout the day. I believe it's more noticeable with closer objects. Lee's noticeable watching tv across the room, etc.

I have done my own self tests where I cover each eye in turn, and see what is different between the images. My left eye image is lower than my right eye image.

I have had dry eye issues in my left eye for ~6 years, and I've wondered if the inflammation had my eye alignment outta whack.

I'm something like -7.25 in both eyes, with the smallest increment of astigmatism in the left eye. My prescription hasn't changed more than -0.25 over the last ~8-9 years. Btw, Thanks for your help.

What advice do you have for engineers that are struggling to land their next job? Do you see the engineering job market difficult to move around in?

I have had a pro re-write my resume, I attend my local engineering chapter's meetings to network, and my qualifications are good but not great. I can't even get phone interviews at this point. I only run into other engineers who are looking to change jobs, or companies who aren't hiring at chapter meetings.
