Does the eyesight of one of your eyes effect the other?!


Question: Does the eyesight of one of your eyes effect the other!?
You know how someone can have better eyesight in one eye than in the other!? I just want to know whether or not the one with a worse eyesight will effect the other eye!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
In the sense of make the good eye go bad!? No!.

Whether the overall vision is better or more comfortable with the good eye alone, with both eyes open, or exactly the same in both cases depends on eye dominance and binocular coordination!.
That varies from person to person!.

I've known people with one very good eye who had to have a correction because their poor eye was the dominant one (the two aren't the same thing at all!), and cases where trying to give the poorer eye an Rx made things worse (the brain had got used to relying on one eye and was uncomfortable trying to process two together)!.
Utterly an individual thing, at least in adults!. In general with young children the attempt should be made to correct the poorer eye to help promote stable binocular vision, but even there there will be exceptions!.


P!.S!. That's affect, not effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In general yes, as stated the dominant eye can become strained more easily because it compensates!. You uncorrected vision may seem to be the same from both eyes when you use both of them, but you will notice the difference when you cover one!. If your dominant eye does not give 20/20 vision and you only use a corrective lens on that eye, you will also notice the difference as that relaxes the eye too much!.

My right eye has normal vision and my left eye has 1!.5 diopters of astigmatism!. My right eye compensated for my weaker left eye for several years!. I started experiencing headaches and double vision when I was almost 30 years and that is when I decided to start wearing corrective lenses even though they had been prescribed several years earlier!.

The vision in my right eye has not changed but has less eyestrain when I correct the vision in my left eye!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the other one will compinsate for your bad eye
