Eyesight

Post Reply New Topic

How is your eyesight..I don't know if it has anything to do with whether or not I have aspergers..but I always thought it a little odd..

I have one really good eye (my right eye) and one very bad eye (my left eye)
I have had doctors say i was probably born like this and other doctors tell me that perhaps it was the cause of an injury I received when I was very young..(i have had issues with head trauma)

I am also left-handed...I thought that the left eye was controlled by the right side of the brain..and I am very right-brained...but this wouldn't quite jibe with my left eye being my bad eye....
(it could very well be that I don't know what I am talking about)

I have also discovered that the reason I have always hated wearing glasses is that I am extremely dependant on my periphrial vison..and having it mucked up by the frames of the glasses is kind of like putting blinders on me...I also don't like the feeling of the glasses on my face, and whatnot.

I have never heard of any correlation between AS and eyesight. I wear glasses, but my eyesight is otherwise fine.

pretty much terrible i dont know what the 20/20 is or anyting, but im nearsighted has hell

I am near-sighted and I have light hypersensitivity issues.
Increased sensitivity prior to spontaneous migraines, and
and bright light or glare can trigger them.

Horrible eyesight, not helped by astigmatism.
I'm getting contacts soon, so the days of having to peer out of smudged, scratched lenses, caked in lunch, is soon to be over!!

Very bad eyesight since I was about 9.

I had near "perfect" eyesight(20/25 The vision was that bad ONLY because of astigmatism(OPTICAL)) until the age of 33! NOW, it is bad, but it is 99.95% due to optical and muscular. Anyway, obviously, all my vision problems are ACQUIRED. BTW My corrected vision is now 20/20.

My vision is 20/20, used to be better though. I do, however, have light sensitivity issues (but I refuse to wear sunglasses).

I have 20/15 vision.

In college, my vision was 25/20. In retirement, my vision can still be corrected with glasses to 25/15. The weaker eye is my left eye. I inherited that from Mom. Sis has it too. I have terrible glare problems, and sometimes just too much light - I lie around with blinders and my vision seems to reset itself after a bit of a rest.

It's a little more contorted than that. The left field of view of each eye is processed by the right hemisphere of the brain, and visa versa. What's going on is that there's a crossing over in the "optic chiasma" where half of each optic nerve routes across to the other side of the brain. The left halves both go to the left and the right halves to the right. However, you then have to remember that the imge on the retina is inverted, so left/right are swapped.

Now, so far as which side of the brain "controls" which eye... I'm not at all sure.

Yup. Bad astigmatism too. Real trouble with depth perception.

I'm the opposite: right handed, right eye is bad, left is good.

Astigmatism, left eye good, right eye only have peripheral vision. This equates to zero depth perception. I’m ambidextrous, but write with left hand, but use mouse with right hand.

I wear glasses, and I've found that if I take them off to read something, it takes a while for me to focus on anything once I put them back on. I also have tunnel vision.

I have been told astigmatism in my right eye...pretty severe...

I am left-handed, but quite ambidextrious...my mom who also has alot of AS symptoms is the same way,,,
