have just got back from eye examination,report says small esophoria at near and full vision, and a perceptual brightness difference between eyes, futher investigation required? Dr John thanks again for advice. could you tell me what the futher investigations would be for? happy to say the blurred vision has gone :)

Have a esophoria is not unusual and generally doesn't require any work up or treatment. Perceptual brightness differnce in the abscense of any other symptoms of findings doesn't require work up.

Be sure you are entrusting your eyes to a Eye MD physician ophthalmologist. In my opinion you should not be seeing an optometrist non-MD non-physician..

sorry to bother you again, but the optician had a stick with a red blob on it and asked me what color it was and i said red obvious to me, but when he held  it away to sides it was black also on sides it was only red held in front and to left. hops you can help is that normal? also on up and down?

I can't tell about the red screening test.  I would work with the eye doctor to evaluate your complaints. I can't come to any conclusions based on your symptoms.
