I...Yes, I have compensating behavior that helps me. In the dark, I can navigate perfectly from memory, for instance. My depth perception is really good when it comes to fitting a car into a tight space. It unnerves those in the car with me. Tight lanes and curvy roads don't faze me at all. Perhaps is just experience, but it really is uncommon for a monocular person to have these traits.<br /><br />I can only call them compensating behavior. Like a totally blind person having the best hearing.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314130812566991108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334018989882702842.post-3116314448732047612012-04-30T09:05:16.394-07:002012-04-30T09:05:16.394-07:00I often have the illusion (sensation) that I am se...I often have the illusion (sensation) that I am seeing out of both eyes. I don't know if my brain is interpolating based on accumulated experience before the blinding event in my mid-30s, or perhaps aided by the very dim and extremely cloudy and blurry vision I get in bright light with the blinded eye. I have to close the left eye, to see the darkness in the right eye. As I am looking at the screen now, I appear to see brightness from both eyes.<br /><br />I can still shoot a basketball, and can now make a reasonable percentage of shots with both eyes closed, after glancing at my distance and orientation.shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192118408905938326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334018989882702842.post-7206713216240539932012-02-05T11:45:53.784-08:002012-02-05T11:45:53.784-08:00I have been blind in one eye since birth.

It just gets filtered out by the brain.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314130812566991108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334018989882702842.post-12221893071272215162012-02-05T07:52:14.580-08:002012-02-05T07:52:14.580-08:00There is only one copy of each of us (and each mom...There is only one copy of each of us (and each moment in time and experience) forever. The universe is irreversible. Good luck with the hips. I am suffering from blindness in one eye, and neuropathy in my feet and spreading. Still athletic, but don't know for how much longer. 46. Loved all the human stories. RIP Tom.shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192118408905938326noreply@blogger.com
