please tell me, could you tell me why we don't have a blind spot when both eyes are open?

Question

I think I have a blind spot in vision; it's either worse in right eye or only in right eye, but it's hard to even tell ?

Answer 1

Brain compensation: The brain is the actual site of vision and it compensates for permanent things in the vision. Both of your eyes have a blind spot, a spot with no light receptors where the nerve exits, which can be mapped out by your ophthalmologist in a test called visual field. Your brain has learned to ignore these holes in the vision and fills them in so you are not aware of them being present.

Answer 2

Blocked tear duct: If you are describing a intermittent mucousy film over the eye then it is probably a result of a blocked tear duct (lacrimal stenosis). The tears can't drain from the eye and secretions build up and sometimes get infected. If the cornea seems cloudy this may be a more serious problem requiring the attention of an ophthalmologist.

Answer 3

Possible Cataract: There are other possibilities, but regardless of the cause, your baby needs to be seen by an opthomologist right away.

Answer 4

Eye rednesa: Depends on the cause. Eye redness can be due to dryness, allergy, infection, or inflammation of the eye. See your eye doctor to determine the cause of the redness.

Answer 5

No limit: There are strong protective reflexes which cause blinking to protect the eye. Given sufficient will power, someone might keep the eye open indefinitely - something done for religious reasons by some. Be happy that your eyes blink to spread the tears and keep the eye healthy.

Answer 6

Use references: You should ask a trusted referring doctor locally, or go online to surgery.Org for abps-certified plastic surgeons who are also members of the american society for aesthetic plastic surgery. Ask for experience in eyelid surgery and look at plenty of before and after photographs.

Answer 7

Idaho surgeons: If you see a board certified plastic, facial plastic or occuloplastic surgeon especially one recommended by another patient you should be fine.

Answer 8

Many Resources.: I would suggest starting with the american society of plastic surgery or the aesthetic society to obtain a list of board-certified plastic surgeons. Arrange consultations and ask to see his/her before-and-after pictures and to potentially meet with previous patients who have under gone the procedure you are interested in.

Answer 9

No harm: It is the usual reflex for the eyes to close when you sneeze, but it is harmless if they don't.
