IT HAS COME 2 MY ATTENTION, THAT I SHOULD TRY 2 EXPLAIN MY VISION SOMEWHAT:
IT IS NOT BLURRED, THOUGH VASELINE ON A LENS MAY BE CLOSEST 4 U 2 EXPERIENCE DOUBLE VISION (DV). MAYBE BOUNCING ON A BOAT 2, IN CHOPPY WATERS, THOUGH THAT’S A GUESS, SINCE I HAVE LITTLE EXPIERIENCE ON A BOAT! W/DV, THERE’S 2 IMAGES, & I’M LUCKY 2 USUALLY BLEND THEM 2GETHER. 4 INSTANCE, LOOKING AT A CLOCK, U’D C 2 CLOCKS. I’M LUCKY 2 USUALLY C 1 CLOCK, BUT MY EYES & HEAD WIGGLE INDEPENDANT OF EACH OTHER, SO I HAVE 2 BE SUPER PATIENT & WAIT 4 THEM ALL 2 COINCIDE. SOMETIMES, ESP. IF I GLANCE AT STUFF, I C 2 IMAGES THAT SLOWLY BECOME 1. THE IMAGE ALWAYS CONSTANTLY BOUNCES-LUCKY I DON’T GET SEASICK! I TRIED AN eye patch, WHICH ELIMINATES 1 OF 3 WIGGLES, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE 2 COVER MY LEFT EYE, I LOSE PERIPHRIAL VISION & HAVE 2 TURN MY HEAD MORE, WHICH STINKS WHEN U CAN’T TURN YOUR HEAD 2 THE RT. VERY WELL! THE eye patch IS NOT A “CURE-ALL”.
HOW I C IS MORE FACTORS THAN DOUBLE VISION. MY EYES COMPENSATE 4 WHAT THE OTHER LACKS, SO MY VISION WORSENS W/O AN EYE. MY LEFT EYE OFTEN CLOSES, ESP. IN NATURAL LIGHT (WHICH I’M SENSITIVE 2). MY LEFT EYE WIGGLES TONS MORE & HAS WAY BETTER RANGE & PERIPHIAL VISION, BUT MY RT.OFTEN C’S BETTER, HAS LITTLE RANGE, BUT HAS NO PERIPHIAL VISION. I’M LEGALLY BLIND, SO IN THE HOSPITAL I HAD GLASSES THE NURSES NEVER PUT ON, DESPITE EVEN NOTES ABOVE MY HEAD (EXTREMELY ANNOYING), & GRADUALLY WE WORKED 2 NOW I WEAR CONTACTS MARK PUTS IN MONTHLY (I CAN SLEEP W/THEM-SO,ETHING I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS EYE PROBLEMS). I COULD KICK MYSELF 4 CHICKENING OUT OF LASER EYE SURGERY AT 30, WHEN I STROKED ONLY 7 MONTHS LATER!
SOME DAYS R GREAT, SOME R BAD. DISTANCE ALWAYS MAKES IT HARDER, SINCE THE IMAGE IS SMALLER. THIS IS WHY LARGER FONT, USUALLY SIZE 24, IS PREFERRED. I ALSO READ LIKE MY ASL IS READ-AFTER THE 1^ST FEW LETTERS R SEEN, I GUESS THE WORD & GO ON. IF I GUESSED RT., THE SENTENCE MAKES SENSE. IF NOT, I GO BACK & DO LETTER-BY-LETTER UNTIL I’M SURE OF THE WORD. READING IS HARD (1 WORD AT A TIME!) & I HAVE 2 KNOW I HAVE THE ALLOTTED TIME.
MY EYESIGHT TENDS 2 BE WORSE IN THE MORNING, SO I DO EYE EXERCISES EVERY MORNING, AS I STARE AT THE CEILING. VERTICAL IS GREAT, HORIZONTAL’S OK, DIAGANOL, ESP. RT. 2 LT., IS HORRID. COMPUTER, READING EMAILS & SMALL FONT ON WEBSITES, TYPING & EMAILS FROM OTHERS IS ACTUALLY AN EYE EXERCISE. IT TRAINS MY EYES 2 FOCUS 2GETHER.
I HAVE NO CLUE WHY, BUT IT’S HARD 2 DIFFERENTIATE GROUPS. 4 EX., ZACH LOVES LUBY’S (CAFETERIA STYLE FOOD). I CAN ONLY PICK OUT WHAT I WANT IF I’M TOLD WHAT’S THERE, EVEN THOUGH I C IT. I DIFFERENTIATE PEOPLE BY COLORS OF CLOTHES & OCCASIONALLY, HAIRSTYLES!
