I use my right eye mostly to read with. After 30 years of Opthamologists telling me I HAVE to use both eyes together. I met a DR in Boston who said "you have Mono-Vision" And says that as we get older we become more (this is confusing to me because I am BOTH) Nearsighted <?> anyway the trend has been to correct only one eye so the elderly have one far sighted eye (corrected) and a nearsighted eye... (This may be backwards...) Photography has taught me how to IDENTIFY 3D. I don't see it the way others do but I interpret what things are where, I don't walk into objects and I do just fine on my Motorcycle. I think this is where the photography has been a BIG help. I learned at an early age where shadows fall. And to keep myself from walking into things I learned how the objects look with different shadows.. I am really bad in flat light.. I don't particularly like to ride the bike at night when I am tired. I played Baseball for ever... I could catch but couldn't hit the ball. In college I discovered that my problem was that I would track the ball to the plate with one eye and then as it got over the plate my other eye would take over.. I started wearing a patch over one eye just to play. but that was a hassle when I had to run.... So now I take photos, ride bikes and teach Have no worries Ted you are not alone. And it sounds like there are several others who have similar eye problems. Its pretty interesting. I was told I had a rare problem surgeries didn't/couldn't fix it. yet someone else here seems to have exactly the samething. I wonder if my Dr. Lied to me...
