mommytobees Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ::delurking:: Okay, I've been having problems with my vision. What does it mean if I can't see ANYTHING standing out on the stereo optic fly test? ( this one: http://lpoproducts.com/stereoopticalstereoflytest.aspx ) I've been looking online and am starting to get *really* frustrated. 3 weeks ago I saw an optometrist. I could see #'s 1, 2, & 3 but nothing else on this version of the stereo optic test ( http://lpoproducts.com/stereobutterfly-1.aspx ) Today I saw an ophthalmologist and on the fly version of the test I couldn't see ANY difference. They even did the test again, just to make sure the tech did it right. Nada. There were no changes. The doctor said she wouldn't talk to me about anything until we ran more tests. We aren't close to getting a diagnosis. Thanks, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think it means you don't have depth perception, your eyes aren't working together. Do you have the same vision in both eyes? I don't, 20/15 in one and 20/40 in the other. I took those same tests about five years ago and could only see the first couple on the second test you posted (http://lpoproducts.c...utterfly-1.aspx) and nothing else on the page. The doctor explained that it was because my eyes didn't work together properly. It explains why I am so klutzy and never any good at sports with balls! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of yesterday my corrected vision is 20/25L & 20/40R for distance but 20/60L & 20/70 up close. I'm kind of in a "wait and see" holding pattern. The eye doc wouldn't discuss with me the possibilities. LOL, that just leaves me with Dr. Google!! Thanks, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Perhaps it is just the slight difference in vision between your eyes, as it is for me. Good luck and beware of Dr. Google, he has a way of convincing me I am dying. :ohmy: :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I find myself taking this too seriously I go over to wrongdiagnosis website. Just for fun LOL!! Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
