> Everything I see is out of proprortion. Things pop out at me. Distances are all distorted. Shapes that I know are square look all skewed. I'm only 21 and I feel like I'm dying.
> LinkadgeYes, stepping off a curb is maybe one inch or one foot. Pothole? what pothole? -------Crack/crunch!!! All I do is fall over and into things. I have made good progress undergoing vision therapy for 10 months. I could not count accurately anything because nothing stayed put long enough, perfectly stationary stuff like gas meters and trees. Also distant things don't seem to look smaller than things near, so can't tell what is closer. Everything goes weird trying to understand. Visual tests showed each eye was looking independently, not cooperating with each other and focusing. I tried prism lenses, which work for some, not for me. Therapy improved depth perception which helped balance problems a lot. But I still have gaps of paused visual comprehension, things pop up out of nowhere all the time. I know from therapy that each eye alternated processing, this made the wobble look until the eye that takes over adjusts. You can't notice this looking with both eyes and the brain fills in the blanks fast enough ...normally. I'm still learning how to see now that I've learned walking.
