weegegirl 2 #1 July 28, 2006 Most people do. I however just found out that I am incapable of seeing in 3D, amongst many other eye issues I have dealt with in my lifetime. I told the eye doctor that I thougt I had issues with depth perception, as I have noticed on many of my landings, especially sunset loads. She tested me and sure enough the only depth perception I have is what I put together from 2D. It was pretty interesting to hear about. But completely irreversible. Does anyone else have this issue? How are your swoops? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The nerves that go from your eyes to your brain (okay, she WAY simplified this for me so some eye doctor on here will probably call me out) are supposed to cross and therefore work together to form a 3D image. Mine don't cross. I never use both eyes at the same time. It makes a lot of sense to me with some of the things that I have experienced. Now, listen, damnit... I can still swoop, but I have an excuse for the ones I screw up now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites turtlespeed 221 #9 July 28, 2006 QuoteI don't wanna jump Turtle.

Johnsisland 0 #23 July 31, 2006 Glad you had surgery. I know a couple of people with strabismus who did not have surgery. Wish I knew why they didn't have surgery...was it lack of money or what? A bit odd to make eye contact, where do you look? JArch? I can arch just fine with my back to the ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit odd to make eye contact, where do you look? J 3 surgeries, all before I got to my third birthday. It was something my parents decided & I'm VERY glad they did. I was told by my eye doctor early on that my left eye is my dominant eye, so my eyes appear straighter when I look with that one. I wore glasses from 14 months until I got contacts at 16. When I don't have my contacts in, the eye I'm not looking with turns in a little bit. As far as eye contact, I just look at them. It's not something I really think about anymore. If people notice, I explain what stabismus is. It took me quite awhile growing up to get that comfort level, really, who wants to have bi-focal glasses as a kid?? _____________ PMS #394 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
