Yeah, I was initially worried until I saw that JLee posted it.

Do you really think it'll make a huge difference? I'm so used to how I was, that I'm having a hard time imagining what all to expect to be different...
woot!

We're all probably civilized enough to keep from making fun of someone who is cross eyed, but I am quite confident that everyone he's come in contact with has allowed their perception of him to be skewed in some way because of his eyes, even if only on a subconscious level. It is part of human nature to judge people based on what they look like. It's our initial response to an individual which allows us to formulate a fight/flight/or friend decision based on very little data. With his eyes straightened out, I imagine JLee will be taken much more seriously on a day to day level.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

It might have been cheaper to just wear sunglasses.

Either way, congrats JLee! Am I correct in thinking you're going to have full functionality of both eyes now?

My Oakleys (with government pricing) cost me about $76. This surgery cost me $5. :ninja:

Yes and no. I always have had full 'use' of both eyes (just independently, not together)...the only functionality I have gained yet is extended peripheral vision (because one eye is not turned in). I am hoping that I will develop depth perception. Apparently it is possible: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128977924&sc=fb&cc=fp

I can still switch eyes and use left or right individually - it's just not obvious which one I am using because they're straight now. I can still tell, though.
woot!
2010-09-14, 9:33 AM #53
Is it wrong that I think being able to tell which eye you're using sounds kind of like a super power?

How do you mean? Like, right now you can choose which eye to see from? Is it like a shutter?

This is fascinating to me for some reason. I might buy that lady's book.

It's hard to describe...i.e. right now, I have a contact lens in my right eye and not in my left. I am using my right eye - peripheral vision on my left side is very blurry. If I switch eyes, my main field of vision gets blurry but the periphery on my right side is a little sharper (due to the contact lens).

I can't really describe how I do it or what it feels like, since I have no idea what it's like to see with both eyes coordinated together..i.e. I have absolutely no concept of depth perception. At all. It makes me sad sometimes :/ but I really hope there's a chance I will be able to get it, even though people say I won't.
woot!

All this talk of depth perception (or the lack thereof) makes me think of

Probably will help in the female department. How does one operate without good depth perception exactly? Just do things a little slower and more cautiously? I guess there's not much of a way for me to understand. It'll be interesting for you to get depth perception at this point in life though, where you can really appreciate it and explain the sense of it that we all take for granted.

Pretty much sums up every single way a person can determine depth with only one eye. And you can test all of those by closing one of your eyes :P

Yes. I'm mainly referring to the increased action you are going to experience. And I'm not talking about police action. I'm talking about :cool: action.
2010-09-14, 10:49 AM #60
Yeah, that's true. I didn't think about the fact that people adapt and overcome much worse then depth perception as well.... I'm still amazed that some blind people have adapted echo-location.

At the very lease, when you meet Massassians on the road, and they bring their wives who haven't ever looked at the camhoes thread, they won't spend the whole night thinking WTF EYE WTF EYE WTF EYE.

Also, JLee; I expect that learning to 'see in 3d' for you will be somewhat similar to a person with normal stereoscopic vision learning how to over-ride their automatic process to see those 'magic eye' pictures. Which you should totally go look at now.

I had no idea there was surgery to fix such a thing. Congrats, JLee, I hope your life is exponentially better in every way because of this. I'm sure if you bust your ass at it, you'll get that depth perception.

2010-09-14, 9:00 PM #68
yea, haha, I thought JLee was gonna say he like died or something.

and way to go about the new eye. thats definately gonna help in the chick department.

I think depth perception is over rated.

I drive with one eye closed. I dunno, something just throws me off if I drive with 'depth perception' mode on. Or anything that need to be precise for that matter, I only use my left eye. I think it may just be that I need to update my prescription, but I do things better if I only use my left eye.
2010-09-14, 11:14 PM #74
Well I am wearing glasses so I now have corrected vision in both eyes. I don't have any double vision and I seem to be seeing just fine, but for some reason I feel oddly unbalanced. This is really weird.
woot!
2010-09-14, 11:31 PM #75
Yea, that's understandable. You're seeing the world in a completely different view now.
2010-09-15, 7:05 AM #76
Squirrel King, you still have some depth perception with one eye close. Driving isn't that hard with one eye. Try playing baseball with one eye.

Congrats man, I'm sure you feel 200% better about yourself now which is always awesome. Hell my nose is just slightly crooked and it bothers the hell out of me. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Either way thats a great accomplishment for you!
2010-09-15, 11:58 AM #78
I'm having a hard time relating to anything in this thread because I am very perfect.
2010-09-15, 1:28 PM #79
... Did they knock you out for that?

I don't think I could let someone do something like that, even if I was unconscious.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

It's my understanding that many or most eye operations require you to be conscious. It's not a big deal, since you don't actually see it.

I wanted to stay conscious during my wrist surgery so I could watch but apparently they don't let you do that. Probably because some people thought it would be fun then ended up puking over the operating table. Pussies :rolleyes:
