Left eyes

Post Reply New Topic

i dont get it

In my avatar, I drew one of my eyes different than the other, because I have a general sense of being slightly asymmetrical, physically and metaphorically (although I think I overdid it, and it looks a little silly). When I look in the mirror, or see a picture of myself, I am aware that my right eye is slightly higher than the left, and seems to point out to the side more. However, no one has ever mentioned this to me, and the few people I've asked have not known what I'm talking about. So, I think what I have is a normal, unnoticeable degree of asymmetry.

Or maybe it explains why people avoid me.

My left eye is SO much better than my right eye. My right eye is a lazy eye, and no one caught that until I was in sixth grade. I can still look out of it and all, but I never do and the vision is much blurrier in it if I look out of it alone. And I also apparently always have my head just a tiny bit tilted (not noticable) to allign my eye sight.

That's a shame about your eye, but it is nice it is still usable.(Some AREN'T after one has about reached puberty, from what I understand.) The tilting part is interesting. There was a thread on that here just a few days or so ago, as I recall. I tilt MY head a bit also. I never thought it that unusual. NOBODY is perfect. BTW I think mine is subtle, but noticable. NOBODY ever mentioned it though.

My left eye is lazy and my vision in that eye is horrible, it can't even be corrected to 20/20 , my right eye is so much better and can be corrected, fortunately my parents discovered the lazy eye when I was really young, so if I don't try to focus my left eye you can't even tell that it is lazy... when I was in elementary school someone saw me try to focus with it and started saying I had an evil eye , so I stopped trying to use my left eye.

Now I'm paranoid. How do you find out about this? I think I have weird looking eyes because in pictures, I always look drunk/high (maybe it's because I feel weird about looking at the camera because it's kind of like making eye contact so I'm not looking at the camera the "right way")

But something like this might explain it.

I don't think my insurance covers eye doctors though.

And remember eye position changes according to the distance of the object you are looking at... I think

In my right eye I have amblyopia (lazy eye), fortunately it appears to have stabilised, so I shouldn't have to worry about amaurosis (total blindness) in it. I also have astigmatism, and nearsightedness.

I'm an undiagnosed Aspie and am short-sighted and have a slightly odd left eye.

I'm a bit 'bug-eyed'.

Is the left side of your brain that is preoccupied with systemising? Which is what we're good at?

My left eye is positioned higher than my right.

If it's noticeably 'odd' then you can vote, but if like mine it is minutely different, then...actually you wouldn't know unless it was formally diagnosed.

Never mind - you can vote anyway lol

My eyes are normally positioned for all I know. They look normal, so I'm taking a guess here and say they are normally positioned too.

Mine are just normally positioned but I am a bet near sighted

Hehe - okay, I'll vote.

It's noticeable to me, in that it won't always focus - it seems to deviate slightly to the left, sometimes, and won't stay still. It feels wrong. But this doesn't happen all the time. Only when I'm really tired. Generally when I wake up in the middle of the night, or early in the morning.

I have bad eyes in general though. I'm very myopic - minus ten in both eyes. And bad astigmatism in both eyes too. And lots of floaters.

I have a lazy left eye, which is smaller and weaker than my right eye. It sort of is more inward than my right eye, but is barely noticeable. My mum has commented on it though.

I have Graves disease, which causes the size and alignment of my eyes to vary from day to day. It affects my left eye much more, and at its best it appears to be set slightly higher and points outward a little more than the right.

Being that it can vary by the hour, I've noticed that random strangers spot eye asymmetry quickly, even if it's slight. If you're wondering how noticeable your asymmetry is, count the number of times at the grocery store that someone locks eyes with you and seems unable to look away.
