Dumble...WHAT?!?

[brianwj]

This whole Dumbledore revelation is just insane. I don't even know what to say on the subject, but I'll keep my mouth closed concerning the details in case some of you are choosing to stay in the dark. Why in the world she would come forth with this kind of information at this stage of the game just boggles my mind. It seems a little bit silly

I can't watch 3D movies.

My eyes don't work that way.

Really? I've heard that it doesn't work for everyone, but I've never actually known anyone like that. Is there a medical reason for it?

[tomlemos]

yes, actually.

I had severely crossed eyes as a child. The medical term is strobismus.

Usually when most people see, they use their eyes in tandem, that is, both eyes focus on the object they are looking at.

My eyes were so crossed that I learned how to see using each eye independently. So, 3D is out, since you need both eyes working at the same time to form the 3d image.

That's absolutely fascinating...does it affect your day-to-day vision now?

When I was little, I discovered that I had amblyopia in my left eye and it's never really gotten any better. The vision is a little bit better than it was when I was a kid, but not much.

in daily life i have learned how to use my eyes for everyday sight but when it comes to things like a police officer asking me to follow his finger, there are some things physically impossible for my eyes to do. one eye can follow but not both together.
