Single Eye Person is Struggling
I am a 54 year old male with 10% vision in my left eye due to amblyopia since childhood. The periphery of the left eye has helped until I hit my 20's when I starting noticing the periphery confusing my vision in my good right eye. I have battled for 34 years with constant visual confusion. My concern today is that my vision is so weary in my good right eye, that I have developed visual symptoms I find hard to explain to doctors. Can someone relate to my experience?

Please see an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. Eye doctors are familiar with this condition and will explain what they can and cannot do.
I, also, was born with amblyopia. Doctors have explained that the brain rejects the double images our eyes are sending, The stronger eye begins to dominate while the other gets weaker. Eventually, you become dependent on just that eye.
Good luck to you.
I have strabismus since birth. 3 muscle surgeries - each 20 yrs apart . Left eye dominant - no visual disturbance until I had cataract surgeries. Now I have visual disturbances. I too have lower vision in my non dominant eye but once the new lens was implanted the visual problems began for me.
Very frustrating. Now seeing an adult strabismus specialist. They’re not many of them around as this is a childhood condition
