I have had a loss of visualization over time. I can recall having vivid images in my mind’s eye when I was younger. I think my loss of imagery happened after I went blind for a couple of years. But the temporary blindness was due to retinal detachments, which were the result of a head injury. So I suppose the injury may be partially to blame?
I’m not sure though. I’m pretty convinced that blindness changed my brain in a very dramatic way. I learned to move around in the dark, orient myself with sound, and learn to understand spacial relationships in a totally new way.
Now, it’s almost as if my brain used vision, but doesn’t really need it anymore. And that includes seeing things in my mind’s eye, which I can hardly do at all anymore.
