Any lazy-eye people in here?

[watdahel]

Do they see double or do they see like normal people do? This has been bugging me for years and finally decided to ask.

Lazy-eyed, and sometimes I see double

This thread made me think of the movie "Fievel Goes West." Remember the cat that does the "lazy eye?"

LMAO

 

[keeleysam]

I used to be, and no, I saw perfectly normal.

I had surgery to fix it.

 

[jagec]

While technically not quite the same as "lazy eye", I see double when I do this.

 

[watdahel]

I'm just curious. If they do see double, how can they live like that. I'm already going crazy trying to figure out which eye to look at when I talk to these freaks.

I have an issue with one of my eye muscles, I literally CANNOT move both of my eyes to the left. I had it looked at when I was a kid, but they said it's easiest just to learn to live with it.


Is this OK with you?:roll:

Normal eyed here...

I don't have a lazy eye persay but I have what's called intermittent alteration.. basically I don't see in stereo, I can choose which eye I am looking for. Because of this I have 'perfect 3D vision' according to the doc and I have no natural depth perception, I made my own up. My right eye is for long distances whereas my left is for close up.

You don't see 'double.'

Tracy McGrady and Stu Scott have lazy eye.

Freaks?!?! That's a bit harsh, dontchathink?

However, I did recently refer to Festus Hagen (from Gunsmoke) As "googly-eyed Festus" to a lady who's grandson has a lazy eye. She seemed to bristle for a little bit, but then was okay, leading me to questions whether that's considered an insult or not.

[I Saw OJ]

Sounds like their eyes just need to go out and get a job!!

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Everyone's a little lazy eyed. It's hard to tell sometimes, but almost everyone has a little bit. However it's not normal for your eyes to be seen easily as different sized. Then you got some major lazy eye problems.

Same, except I use my right eye for everything, although sometimes I switch to my left eye, though not often.
I do have some peripheral vision with my left eye, but my right eye is used for most vision.

 

[Itchrelief]

One eye is usually dominant and thus the brain normally just ignores the other eye.

 

[watdahel]

That's far out. You can pick which eye to see without poking the other one out?

 

[DaTT]

I always find it hard to talk to "lazy-eyed" people. I never know which eye to look at.....or if they are looking at me.

Are you guys allowed to drive? Or do you have to wear some kind of coke-bottle-glasses that "fix" things or something? I can't imagine being given a license if I had no depth perception. I don't understand how you can "make your own up".

Please educate me.

Haha.. it's not like I see the world like a pong map, I said no 'natural' depth perception, as in most people just have the ability to judge distances normally from birth. Because I don't see in stereo I had to make my own up as a small child. Playing baseball and stuff like that sucked when I was younger but I just figured out space, etc on my own and how to properly adjust. Your brain learns and it becomes second nature. My doctor told me once about a study they did where they had people wear glasses that inverted their eyesight so up was down, etc. It took them about 3-4 days for their brain to adjust to this change and they began to function normally, playing video games, etc just fine. After a week they removed the glasses and they had to relearn everything again just like the first time they put the glasses on. Your brain figures things out and it becomes second nature..

Of course I'm allowed to have a license, I see like any other normal person does. 100% healthy and able to gauge things.

The difference is that I can 'turn off' that perception and see things in a different way if that makes sense. I was always really good at photography because I see angles and shapes and arrangements easily because of this.

And yes I wear glasses but not for this, just normal nearsightedness.. no coke bottles or whatever, and I've worn normal contacts for the last 5 years.
