A common theme that I have been hearing lately from my patients with VH is that they have always been clumsy. Walking into walls, knocking things over, stumbling all the time. One patient told me she always knew something was wrong because she would hit her shoulder into a door frame a few times a day. Ouch!
When the two eyes are not pointing to the same place our stereo vision is poor. Judging where our bodies are in space becomes very difficult. These patients are constantly walking into things, tripping, and misjudging distances. It is wonderful how coordination can improve by aligning the eyes. Now I am not saying that all clumsy people have VH or binocular vision problems but some do. Something to investigate if you always walk into door frames!
