It's odd that you mention that; as I tend to get a migraine once or twice a year (two or three times a week when I was on Prozac). When that happens, I get visual auras roughly half an hour before the pain starts, and the aura always manifests by not being able to use both eyes together, one eye will be out of focus or the other.

Oh, and the treatment for H.E.? It means your body need non-standard hormonal levels so they'll have to figure out what needs to be re-arranged from stock to compensate for the situation. As you're already dealing with chemical-balancing it'll be no real change to your normal routine AFAIK, just re-ordering what chemical should be where.
