Hey thank you so much for this post. I'll admit i have both eyes but I need to ware a patch over my left eye every so often because of a headace condition I have. I sort of always tilt my head but I do it SO much more when I patch my bad eye. And ive noticed I walk closer to walls one eye days and bump my hand into literly everything. I could never tell if this was a universal thing or just me. Bc I'm not *always* down an eye, just sometimes (i don't have as much trouble gauging depth but that's probably bc when I have to patch my eye I'm ushally in enough pain that I avoid doing most activities for saftey reasons so i just dont run into the problem as often) this post made me feel so much better about the little habits I have when I ware my eyepatch. Like they're normal processes other people go through and not just me being really bad at life.
Seriously, thank you.
writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.
#this post nearly brought me to tiers#like im so used to struggling with everything when i can only use one eye#and I know other people struggle with it too its just....#i didnt have anyone to talk to about what happens wjen you can only see out of one eye#I thought i was going crazy or soemthing with the stupid head tilt#ive talked to eye doctors and regular doctors and my friends and family bc i just wanted to know why i ALWAYS tilt my head like that#why the titlt gets SO much worse when i can only see out of one eye#and “its to put the good eye closer to the center” is such a simple explanation for something ive been struggling with all my life????#also the condition is cluster headaces#feels like im getting stabbed through my left eye and i get EXTREMLY light sensitive in that eye#to the point where almost ANY light is DEBLILITATING#i used to just tape that eye shut when i got them but the tape is itchy#so now i use headbands#i really should get a normal person eyepatch this happens a few times a month and ushally lasts a few hours to a day#tbh id probably atually ware the patch more often if it was more comfortable (meaning id be in less pain insted of just putting up woth it)#but anyways... thanks
