lazy eye from one eye seeing better than other
Posted: 01-03-08 18:24pm

So, here's the deal:
I have pretty bad (as far as I know, I don't know how bad bad vision really is) vision in my right eye. It's fine for general stuff, just blurry. It's hard to read stuff that's more than a ways a way. Up close, it's fine though. I can read stuff out of a book or computer and it's crystal clear. My other eye sees better as a hole probably, but less well at close as my eye that sees bad at longer range.

Now, I'm a bit concerned because my sister had to get a single contact because in one of her eyes her vision was bad enough that the doctor people whoever thought that maybe the brain would start disusing that eye. I was wondering if I would be eligible for a similar problem. I think in her case though, she just had one really bad eye, whereas in my case, my eyes just see a bit differently, with one worse at longer distances. So, I know the internet isn't the ideal doctor, but is this something to be worried about. Would it help to, say, always read stuff with my eye that's worse at distance (just close the other) to keep it active? I dunno.

Just checking.

Cheers!
