Brain not "showing me" my peripheral vision

Wow, thank you for all the information, I will start diving into it. It is such a strange situation, it would be great to see that there are some studies over it or over something similar. The drawing idea may be something to try, since quick eye movement would hopefully make my brain realize that it needs to start showing me the whole field of view. I will dive in and update on how it compares to what they are studying. Thanks again for the big reply and all the info!

@88lance You're welcome. I was thinking about this and comparing my vision and what I do as an artist. I have a lot of spacial awareness and 3 dimensional understanding of the world and I think in 3 dimensions. I'm always translating that into 2 dimensions when I create artwork. You are a bit opposite because the periphery and spacial understanding cuts in and out for you. I hope exercising that with a bit of art therapy will help. If you enjoy art, you may want to go look at some great art in museums. There is a lot to be learned when you study how the artist did something and it may inspire you.

You may also have a dominant eye. I know I do, and my brains gives it preference in processing the image. At one time when I had contact lenses, one eye was corrected for distance and the other for close up, and when my focus changed, my brain automatically switched eyes. If you cover up one eye and try some rapid eye movements, you can find out if your eyes are different in the way your brain processes.

I really like this "Art for Healing" discussion on Connect? You might enjoy it. (You may find out something about me on the first page, and I have contributed fairly often there.)

Will you update me with your progress on your drawings? Good luck in your quest!
