i have noticed over the years that when I
move my head slowly to the left or right
while focusing both eyes on a stationary
object from any distance, I begin to see
two instances of that object and that it
is more pronounced and to a greater degree
when I turn my head to the left than when
I turn my head to the right. If I look
straight on at the stationary object or
even turn my head slightly (again, while
maintaining my focus on it), I only see a
single instance of it.
Perhaps this is normal and I just never
noticed it. I do have a condition called
"lazy eye" in which my left eye just sort
of drifts to the left but i'm not sure if
this is the cause.
Also, I see fuzzy, overlapping images when
I use my left eye while keeping my right
one closed.
Could anyone here try this and see if you
get the same results? (i'm talking about
moving your head slowly to the left or
right while focusing both eyes on a
stationary object from any distance and
seeing if you begin to see two instances
of that object). It would be very
reassuring to me to know that I am not
alone and that this is normal. I've been
obsessing over this for almost two years
now.
