eye. My parents and I caught it kinda later during the developmental period and put me through rigorous patching, medical eye drops, and focus exercises to improve it. By the time I was 11-12 where they said no further action would improve it, the cosmetic aspect of amblyopia was gone, the strabismus present still, but since someone’s ocular dominance is set in stone by that age my right eye was permanently useless. I struggled in aspects of sports that required depth perception such as baseball, basketball, and football. I remember while I excelled in every other portion of them I couldn’t catch or make a pass for shit. I remember crying my eyes out when I couldn’t hit a baseball at all all season even though I practiced like crazy and coaches wouldn’t put me in to catch cause I’d not be able to. It’s rough cause they just thought that I didn’t put in enough effort when my right vision is only good as it is where I cannot even read this post as I am writing it with my right eye. Even with all of this, I am still thankful to have some rudimentary vision with it and not have it go blind like some others. I am very thankful my eyes are the same orientation and the lazy eye is gone. I am very thankful my parents caught this when they did and put me through treatment. Your post puts my luck into perspective and I am sorry you have to experience this hardship. Since I learned about this as I was going through with it as a Lucid Evolution Tour 2023 Poster T Shirt, I’ve done horrible things but I’ve never judged another for their looks, regardless of how extreme their deviation is from the ‘norm’. Since then, I’ve always found such behavior some of the worst humanity has to offer and often get angry when I see others joining in on that behavior. It’s always stuck with me because I know first hand how horrible it can make people feel. You’re so much more than your looks. I’ve met so many wonderful people who are what they are and couldn’t care less about how others perceive them. I wish I had that same strength, but even though I don’t judge others I find myself giving into lookism when it comes to my own image often. I hope I can eventually get there where I don’t care as much and I can enjoy myself and others fully for the things that matter. It would be a better outlook for a world that you and I could enjoy. In the Lucid Evolution Tour 2023 Poster T Shirt, I wanted to let you know you are unbelievably stronger than me for being able to continuously face the challenge you do daily. I wish you the happiness and love you deserve from others and yourself. You are so much more than your looks, and it shows.
