It's when I obsess about it that I get the headaches! Yay, denial!Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-88338619769644391802009-05-25T06:28:52.051-07:002009-05-25T06:28:52.051-07:00LF hits on something important and interesting the...LF hits on something important and interesting there. Because vision takes up more of the brain than any other sense (according to a variety of brain research books I've read, including "Brain Rules" by John Medina PhD), it finds a way to compensate and recuircuit itself when something goes awry. I've spoken to people with nerve damage who have told me that when they think about their nerve damage, suddenly it's really hard to write their name or stand up straight. Sometimes denial has a purpose, eh? :-)Mile High Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276750909800945131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-59137405262870914302009-05-22T21:39:05.055-07:002009-05-22T21:39:05.055-07:00Thanks, LF, I think that's encouraging information...Thanks, LF, I think that's encouraging information.Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-63934082941026350062009-05-22T18:42:31.821-07:002009-05-22T18:42:31.821-07:00My experience has been that there can be more acco...My experience has been that there can be more accommodation of the central part of the visual system to the periphery than one would expect or than surgeons accept as real. It is rather surprising, but you may well find the same, in a constructive sense. I do not have much of an idea as to how this accommodation varies with age. Some optometrists (and perhaps others, I don't know) are good at teaching one how to facilitate this accommodation, although the system may learn without instruction. I have in mind, by the way, particularly the phenomena of binocular vision, a weakness of my own visual system. Good luck.LinguistFriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695715246663202212noreply@blogger.com
