Re: recognizing faces... do you see what I see?

[Guest guest]

hi chantelle.

sorry I didn't know before that you do have charge but Im learning.

anyways I just wanted to say you did find something to do about it. look

how resourceful you are. you said you cant

tell by faces so you rely on what the person was wearing. you have found

a way around your difficulty. Height and hair color may help too.

keep up the great work

WOOH Chantelle, this is a VERY interesting observation. From what

you reported to me about where your coloboma were located, face

recognition at 15-20 feet should not be a factor. In case I

remembered it wrong, could you be specific about where your coloboma

are again? Face recognition can be related also to the optic nerve.

Um actualy if I see a face say 5 feet away, i can recongnize it 100

percent. its distance that faces start getting too blurry and I cant

distinguash similar features. Take you and lisa weir, you two look a

lot alike and ppl have said you look like sisters. Well from 20

feet, I dont know wich one of you is wich. yet if your standing

right in front of me (say 5-10 feet) I know exactly who is who.

I hope that explains it a bit better.

Btw, my columbomas affect my upper visual feild. I cant remember if

they are in the retna or someplace ele.
