Following things with your eyes

Postby timtim » Thu 20 Nov 2008 2:00 pm

Does anyone else have major problems folllowing moving things with their eyes? My biggest problem is my eyes focusing together, and I've noticed that this has gotten REALLY bad for me. For example, if a car drives by, or a fly buzzes around in front of my face. I feel like I get so disoriented if I try to look at it. I also notice that I get dizzy too. It's not fun. This is quite a problem for me and has affected my confidence a lot (I feel like I have such a tough time staying concentrated with how hard it is for me to see straight, and I get distracted by little things moving in my peripheral vision).

All part of the fun of KC, I'm just curious if this is a problem that some other people are dealing with as well.

Many of us have learned just to look out of one eye at a time. This sounds hard, but is actually quite simple.

All the best

Yep I have this problem too! My worst problem is focusing on faces. I must seem really rude as I look like I am avoiding eye contact!

Def one of the joys of having KC
