I have got this strange problem; the picture I get into my right eye is approx. 30-50% smaller than the picture I get into my left eye. Both pictures are otherwise perfect.
 
Is there a permanent cure for ocular herpes?
 
I can see clearly out of either eye but when I look out of both eyes, I have double vision. It is like looking through binoculars when you see two images as you cannot get the eyepieces exactly right. What could cause this?
 
Can a chalazion occur on the inside of the eyelid causing irritation to the cornea?

What are the options for correction or reduction of high degree myopia?
