The key problem is that one of my eyes is next to useless. If I close my dominant eye, my other eye (corrected!) can pretty much see that there is an orange bar at the top, some sort of tanish area, some black stuff that is texty, and a white box below it that has texty stuff in it. On the infamous eye exam chart, I can barely make out the top most letter.

One one hand it is sort of nifty, it is almost like a holographic degradation of quality, it'd be more interesting though if it wasn't happening to me!

Oddly enough I found out that the problem I have (underdeveloped optic nerve) often co-occurs with grip strength problems. After an Amazon order and a week of training my grip, my life long problem of dropping things has been resolved. (Cost me $2k for the neuropsych eval to figure this out, but not dropping stuff all the time is a huge confidence booster, so I am A-OK with the trade off!)

Anyway, hopefully nerve regeneration takes off, I'd love to be able to see properly. (Not to mention all the other problems it'd solve for people!)
