Does difference between both eyes affect well-being? (self.Blind)
submitted by [deleted]
I was diagnosed with profound Vision loss some months ago with Retinal detachment in my right eye so It's legally blind while my better left eye is moderately nearsighted. In dioptric scale they are different by more than three degrees (-7.5 and -11 respectively).
I often find it difficult to coordinate myself on open places and often feel derealised because of it. My socialability and psychological health are impaired as well. I am reflected my brain fog issues could also linked with progressive vision loss with the huge difference in both eyes.

I often have similar issues. I have also a very significant difference between my so called good eye which would normally be a very bad eye.
My brain often cannot determine what is in front of me. For instance I might think I see a horse but it is actually 2 people walking down the street. Someone riding a bicycle might be perceived as a hot air balloon.
I often have to stop and look away or close my eyes and try again. My team is trying to find a solution so my poor eye takes on the load, but my vision in that eye has decreased at an alarming rate in just a few months

I struggle with the same thing. I have a refractive Amblyopia and high myopia and get brain fog a lot and have trouble coordinating myself and navigating because sometimes I’m confused.

Been blind in my right eye since birth. Was an Olympic athlete and an am far above average in most sports. Definitely some limitations when it comes to things like walking through a doorway haha. Occasionally you miss judge something and you just have to laugh at yourself.
I do struggle a little with the looks of an occasional crossed eye, but it’s something you just kind of learn to live with. My dog loves me just the same.
Here if you ever want to chat.
