Superior Oblique Brown Syndrome to be precise. That is what I was officially diagnosed with today at the Eye Institute of Wisconsin.
Here is the short about this syndrome I have.
There is limited elevation to a short or tight anterior superior oblique tendon sheath. This tendon is in the inner/upper part of the eye and hooks around this little notch part of the eye. If the tendon gets inflamed or jagged for any reason, it sorta sticks and restricts the eye from moving. Thus causing double vision.
This is a diagram of the eye. The little tendon and notch are at the top of the eye. It’s circled in red.
So, there you have it. The good news is, they knew what it was. The bad news is, there is not much to do for it. I am going to try a round of ibuprofen for the next few weeks and hopefully the inflammation will go away.
The double vision isn’t too bad. Just takes place in the morning, when I wake up, until I get this tendon moving. Then, if I look in certain spots I have it. But for the most part, you’d never know I had anything wrong.

Glad they knew what it was and you have an answer. That's gotta feel like a load off :)
Yes, so glad that you know what to do now and that it doesn't bother you all of the time. Best wishes! Oh, and your girls are darling. I know I say that all the time, but it's true!
