Question
I am 50 yrs.old %26 I was born with my eyes not fused together. I have had 3 surgeries to correct the muscle. I have always tilted my head to get things in alignment %26 now my eye is straight. Recently I have been in several accidents. Could it be because I was so used to not having things alined and now they are, that maybe this correction has affected my vision.
Answer
Hi Dawn,
Depending on the exact nature of the alignment problem, what it was and what it is now, your brain may have to adapt or adjust to properly consider the place or direction of things in your world. You can consult an optometrist practicing 'vision therapy' to learn more. They usually work with children but also can work with adults. A 'sports vision specialist' may also help. I am surprised that after a life of misalignment and surgeries that they are now aligned. So good for you, but you may want to do some eye exercises to practice proper eye movements and perception.
