Anyone else have this eye disorder?
I had cross eye as a kid ,and had to wear an eye patch on my left eye from about age 3 to age 5. vision never got better in left eye always blurry. Had operation at age 5 which corrected cross eye and put both eyes in unison..but vision was still legally blind in left eye about 20/400.
Depth perception is not good but you learn to adapt.I never had binocular vison but it never stopped me from sports, shooting, driving, parachuting , you just use different cues to compensate.
It is not correctable with glasses and no cure for it. I did have acousin about my age who had cross eyes as well but eye patching worked for him and he was able to get normal vision back though he still had operation to correct the cross eye. I guess patching works for some and not for others.
I was surprised at the # of actors who have amblyopia or strambisus and only see out of 1 eye..Paris Hilton, Heidi Kulm, Denzel Washington, Forest whittiker and there is even a former Jets receiver Wesley Walker who had this disorder as well. U of Nebraska had a linebacker a few year back who only had vision in one eye.. anyway just wondering if any one else has it. I knew a guy who lost vision in his eye after a shop accident and he had a pretty good learning curve because he was used to having binocular vision and at first e struggle with tasks like driving parking walking down stairs ect. It took some time to adapt with vison in one eye. I never had that issue because I have never had binocular vision..no need to go to a 3d movie since i dont see in 3d.I also do not hear in stereo i hear in mostly mono.
