And you... never at any point realized that, if you look only through your left eye, that you can hardly see anything at all, even though your vision in your right eye is much better, which suggests that there's something wrong with your left eye in particular?
Did you grow up assuming that everyone can only see out of their right eye? And that it's normal to not see anything out of the left? o_o"" (Did you assume it was just a dominant-eye thing? Like, "I'm right handed and my right hand can do everything while my left hand can barely hold a fork, so my eyes must work the same way"?)
And how did this not come up during any other eye exam as a child? At every regular physical, my doctor has me do the thing where I read the eye chart with one eye covered and then do the same with the other eye covered. And if you were already wearing glasses at that point, then that implies that you regularly visit an eye doctor, as well -- and the more thorough eye exams that an eye doctor does also involve doing a lot of checks with one eye covered. Did your eye doctor never say anything about the fact that you couldn't read the eye chart with your left eye? O_o""
(Sorry if any of this is coming off as rude, by the way. I don't doubt your story or anything. I'm just... really genuinely curious as to how you could've gone so long without knowing. XD )
