Lazy eye here, too. Had the patch and all that, but it didn't fix matters. Also had an infection in that eye as a baby, which probably added to things. I'm realllly nearsighted in that eye, but with the help of glasses, I use it for all close up work...reading and all. But I can't use 'em together.
I'm OK with night driving where there's no traffic...but in traffic, I find I can't figure out where people are as easily at night. Scares me.
I understand what you mean. I can't figure out where people are regardless of whether it's night or day. To me, the advantage to night is that there are fewer of them. If I have to go through a big city, I try to go through the city at two in the morning. I don't have the road to myself at that time, but the traffic is usually light enough for me to be comfortable.
I have astigmatism which is getting worse with every year that passes. My doctor told me some time ago that I may need Lasik, but I noticed that there are new(?) contact lenses out for astigmatism.
I may have to try them out.
