I'm so Tired My Hand is Turning Transparent!

Transparency in my body is not something that is my imagination. I have a condition where my vision is influenced by my ability to control the muscles of my eyes. When I get tired I shift to double vision no matter how I try to how back. When that happens my hand splits into two, and either or even both hands at the same time will go transparent because I'm seeing the backgrounds behind them with the other eye. So in that sense one of them can really be transparent yet have nothing abnormal occur. It's just an optic effect after all.

I have an offset problem too, when I look at a computer screen too long. It's like double vision but instead of going to the side it creates a phantom image above the object you look at, and unlike double vision needing both eyes, it occurs in a single eye, so closing one does nothing to fix the problem. It's more pronounced on objects with electric fields around them.

@OneOfMany Oh my, this should be a real pain. I have a strange problem that only arrives time by time. I see flashes of light in my right eye. They are so strong that I can do nothing.

@LadyDuck Flashes of light should be looked into. If I remember right, that happens when there is a separation of your retina to the back of the eye. It can be fixed, but if it gets worse it can get bad. Hopefully I am wrong about that being your issue.

I knew someone who had the double vision problem when their eyes were tired. A pair of glasses that they wore all the time cured the problem. I once saw double for about three months. I wore a patch on one eye so I wouldn't walk through the wrong door.

My glasses are supposed to help with it, but they don't really do much. In the end it's all about my control over it. It's perfectly fine when I'm awake with energy, but when I'm tired I can't stop it.

I read a little bit about double vision. How long have you had it and do you have it in both eyes?
