I keep seeing things in 3D when they are not supposed to?!


Question: I keep seeing things in 3D when they are not supposed to?
When I was young I had alot of trouble differentiating depth. Recently it's gotten alot worse. I literally cannot tell whether on a poster on the wall at table level from an apple sitting on the table. When I look at the computer it looks weird because alot of things look like they are popping out and I can't hit the keyboard keys at proper level.

What do I do? my parents don't believe me and won't take me to the doctor

Answers:

Sounds like it could be keratoconus. What happens with this, is the cornea starts to develop a conical shape, instead of the normal smooth round surface. When this happens, because the cornea is the window that focuses the light into your eyes, you can get anything from double vision to depth perception issues.

How old are you? It usually starts to develop around late teens-early twenties. If you're in this frame of age, I would insist your parents take you in. At least for a visual acuity checkup. It is not legal for an optometry office to charge for a visit if you are under 18 in most areas, and they can easily check for a conical cornea.

However, since you say that it's been around since you were younger - have you ever been checked for strabismus? My mother has strabismus, and because of this she has no depth perception.
Not bad depth perception, NO depth perception. Honestly, tell your parents that your eyes are bothering you, and that you need to see a doctor.
If they refuse, just think up a speech and tell them to get off of their lazy asses and pay $50 to ensure your eyes are healthy.
