Discovering:helmet in mirror

[Guest guest]

I think my daught has no much facial asymmetry but when I look at her

in the mirror I find the misshapen is more prominent. I have studied

for several times.And it is sure that the asymmetry is more obvious in

mirror. I don't know why. Is there anybody have such experience? I just

discovered by chance. What does this mean?

Yes, the mirror makes it easier for our brains to see the asymmetry. I

have heard it is because it takes a 3 dimensional image and makes it 2

dimensional. However I think it must have something to do with

reversing the image the we usually see as well. If you are trying to

find asymmetry they say the best way is to look in the mirror.

How is Merry's head doing? Are you seeing any improvement? I remember

you were trying to do this yourself with a helmet you got in Taiwan. I

wonder how it is working.

It is both of the explanations that mentioned. A mirror is

turning a 3dimensional object into a 2dimensional image, plus it's

reversing the image, so it's just an unusual site to see. The same is

true for photos with regards to the 2dimensional image (not the

reverse image though, since you see them in a photo the same way you

do in life). It can be misleading. But honestly, it was one of my main

concerns because a mirror image is the way my son will be looking at

himself for the rest of his life, and I just don't want it to cause

him any self-esteem issues. His left eye has some asym that I can't

always see straight on (it depends on his facial expression), but in

the mirror it is noticeable, and I'm not sure it will be fixed with

the helmet (mainly because of his age). So I'll just have to hope for

the best.
