I was bitching about being blind to my shrink today and I had to explain how I like. cope with garbage vision and function almost as well as someone who is sighted. (I have cataracts, one eye, and can't heal from surgery disease that makes removing the cataracts not worth it until they completely take out the good eye) specifically we discussed what goes into faking maintaining eye contact and managing to still be a good aim (good vision isn't what makes someone a good shot, the ability to get the gun/bow/ whatever pointed the way they want it to be is)
everything else is accomplished via shrimp posture and holding my phone/whatever I'm working on too close to my face.
#i could not be fucked to imitate the retinal degeneration. my brain doesn't process those parts of the image as black splotches#its just not registering them at all.#Its like how videos dont display a brand new image every frame to conserve processing power#they just edit what is already there to match the new frame. My brain knows Roughly what should be there and fills in the gaps#even if its not always right#(your brain does this too. you statistically have blind spot directly below your point of focus bc thats where your optic nerve attaches to#your retina. if its not there its somewhere around that area. eyes are weird and inconsistent.)
