It's amazing you mention that, I have amblyopia, but I actually learnt about that name into my late twenties. I always had a lazy eye (had an operation when I was 4, but did nothing...), so that lazy eye never properly developed, it hava a vision of like 2/10. It only see the left far side, very blurry, so I have an almost 100% field of view, but that's about it.
It never bother me, except what you talked about, is some very particular tasks, some task like filling a glass of water can be challenging as I have no parallax, so no real depth of field. Sometimes I can't tell if your glass is right under my jug or not.
Sports with ball, forget it, ping-pong and badminton was just impossible for me in high-school/college.
Bumping into things happen often, and no 3D movies for me, also VR is a lot less appealing and immersive :(
- homero 9y agoMy story is almost identical except my lazy eye is 20/20 and I wear one contact in the other
- duckingtest 9y agoI have amblyopia in one eye too, try doing LSD or one of its semi-legal analogues. While on 300µg I was able to read with the lazy eye and got 3d vision. I was looking at a tree with lots of branches and suddenly it clicked. I retained 3d vision for about 2 weeks afterwards, progressively weaker. Interesting experience. 3d vision really means depth is directly perceived in the same manner as width and height. Now I understand why so many people are afraid of heights.
- dimillian 9y agoFunny thing actually there are treatments for amblyopia and they consist of hiding your good eye while you're watching psychedelic/highly coloured images with your other. Can't find the name of the company who do that, I did contact them, but mine was too severe to be considered for trials.
