Rishi Giovanni Gatti (Zetsu), Lena102938, and Otis Brown are trolls who haunt s.m.v. Rishi has published, and is trying to sell worthless books. Otis is pathologically dishonest and actually hurts people. Following his advice can induce double vision in those not working closely with an eye doctor. Lena102938 uses anti-eye doctor rhetoric as a substitute for ANY actual information. It seems she now has to wear glasses and has developed a pathological (and ILLOGICAL) resentment toward the industry that "foisted these glasses upon her." You'd do well to ignore them and wait for responses from the caring, compassionate eye doctors who DO also participate in this site. |

It probably doesn't, in the conventional sense.It might if you weren't wearing correction during the photo. Your -3 eye could be too blurry for the fusion reflex to work. That would be pretty normal, not true esotropia. Otherwise, when nearsighted people's eyes "turn in" it's usually constant, present since birth, and they seldom develop stereo vision without surgery and orthoptics. So if you can see 3-D illusions, it's unlikely you have anything to worry about. People who DO suddenly develop esotropia complain about double vision. They complain a lot. - quote - > Are these two things in any way related, I mean the eye strain and the eye

| Concerned about 1 eye |'m not sure if this is related but I have poor vision in one eye (-3) and average vision in the other (-2). I often wear contacts but when not wearing them I try to avoid wearing glasses except for driving, tv etc. As a result I often get strain in the poor eye - is this as a result of not seeing properly? I also notice in photos that this eye appears to turn in. Are these two things in any way related, I mean the eye strain and the eye turning in? -- Message posted via MedKB.com http://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/vision/200710/1 |
