Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 My History: They've known I had NF since I was very young.. mainly because I have lots of skin tumors (So they weren't sure if NF1 or NF2) Ever since I can remember, the eye doctor always said I had a lazy eye, but it wasn't that drastic. Sometime around 15 or 16, my lazy eye went into couch potato eye mode, the eye is more or less permanently crossed. I can still see out of it, just it's range of motion is limited. The eye doctor put together the NF diagnosis with the lazy eye and ordered an MRI and wha-la.. Huge AN To date, I've had a surgery done to attempt to center the lazy eye, which was unsuccessful. I can still see out of the eye and have double vision. Pete " blind " Curious, everyone keeps mentioning the word, blind... You mean absolutley no vision in eye? some vision? both? I have " lazy " right eye, (many crew have lazy eye also, ironic?) I can see out of that eye, not very good, but I can see still.... born that way. help me out kids, Caren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 You sound like this is past tense?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2002 Report Share Posted March 16, 2002 I hate this...... I just had an eye-test and it turned out they can't help me with my right eye... But they said maybe glasses can help, but I don't see the point of glasses when I already have a hearing-aid? There's not much space left behind my R ear, so the glasses won't stay put I guess .

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2002 Report Share Posted March 16, 2002 ill be sorry posted this in the morning but; Things are as bad, as 'You " allow them to be. Imp speaking here with a very heavy heart. I have young children of my own. The ability of your child is not reached yet, it may be far to come still. He may have an understanding that will far outweigh any squabble we could voice here on this station. He will be FINE: He will be with many others surviving the same challengeable as he:) With love crowdie Lowe Re: " blind " > > > > theres a medical standard, like 20/400 to beconsidered legallyblind, not > sure > > wht it is. i was legally blind butcud see, but verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry badly. > > > > > > > > Curious, everyone keeps mentioning the word, blind... > > > > > > You mean absolutley no vision in eye? some vision? both? > > > > > > I have " lazy " right eye, (many crew have lazy eye also, ironic?)
