It's something like a lazy eye. It actually tracks along with my other eye, it's just that the vision in there is quite bad. There's no lens in there; I had a catarct removed in the early 1980s before lens transplants.
Then I got a new prescription and was a bit disoriented
at how flat the world seemed, to my mind it was "like
a PlayStation game". What had happened was, my brain
had trained itself to use blurriness as a proxy for
distance (I'm myopic), and the eyeglasses removed that.
That's amazing. It was a bit of an unhelpful adaptation in your case, but it's just absolutely wild how they can adapt!
