Vision/other physical conditions; Kel (I'm going out of order...sorry)
 
Corrective glasses/lenses
bifocals
Nystagmus or strabismus
Well, not sure I have astygmatism and I'm now presbiopic
Glaucoma
Yes, I have coag (c....open angle glaucoma and I don't remember what the c stands for darn it)
Eye disease
See above (see...no pun intended)
Vision loss
Blind spot in the middle of my left visual field
Other nerve issues in your body
Cubital tunnel syndrome...some nerve issues in my neck.
Arthritis
Knees and spine.
Sinus polyps 
Negatory
Allergies
Grass allergy for sure.
Chronic illness/disease
IBS...(now you all know)
Traumatic injury
Not really.....car crash in 1998.
Emotional or stress related issues
Not at this point....but I have had a very stressful 2007
Is your SOM your dominent eye?
Yes it is.....
Is the vision in your SOM stronger or weaker than in your other eye?
Stronger now that I have the blind spot in my left eye.
Do you believe that any of these are connected to your SOM?
The glaucoma is not.  However, my som eye has taken over for what is missing in the left eye, and has been behaving quite nicely.  I am told that my neck problems may either be a result of or a trigger to the som. 
How you feel any other physical or emotional issue may contribute to your SOM
Well, I believe that when I'm under a stressful situation or suffer anxiety for whatever reason, I tense up and this may contribute to the SOM.  I do know that when I am extremely tired, it acts up.  I also know after my past 2 surgical procedures that upon waking up, I had a full blown attack.  The doctors were unsure if it was the stress on my body, or the anesthesia.
