This isn't quite a health issue, but I recently discovered that I don't really have any depth perception due to the one eye that I can't see clearly out of.
I sort of feel like I've just had the visual equivalent of an exercise-induced asthma diagnosis, or something.
My whole life, I've been clumsy and terrible at sports. I can't hit, can't catch, can't throw, can't aim, can't even play video games...can't read a line on my mountain bike (and also, must be very, very brave to turn left at an unprotected intersection while driving). NOW I KNOW WHY!!
(Oddly, I have the hand-eye coordination for percussion, but I think it's because I rely on my ears more to know when I'm hitting things correctly, instead of looking at them).
Just wanted to share. Now I know why I find mountain biking so terrifying on downhills! I'm used to trying to gauge distance at foot-speed, but I can't judge relative speed of oncoming objects at all on the bike. Now I've got something to work with, anyway!
