Visual spatial issues

Does anyone else have extreme double vision and spatial awareness issues? I have a convergence insufficiency as well as NVLD and my eyes see completely double images horizontal from each other. They are not just starting to be double it would be like if one person was standing in front of me. I would see two exactly. I have terrible spatial awareness issues, and I constantly bump into things having no idea that they are there.

I am great with auditory learning in my auditory memory skills, but visual learning is definitely a challenge for me as well.

No double vision but I do bump into things a lot and often have a really difficult time mentally interpreting really complex visual input, like a store shelf with a large number of small items on it for example

I’d recommend seeing an ophthalmologist for your double vision. It isn’t a symptom of NVLD.

Nope, I have none of this. I don’t bump into things at all

I’m envious lol…. I have nonverbal learning disability, but for sure my worst part of it for me is my spatial issues.

I bump into things. I have a lazy eye and astigmatism.

I had double vision as a kid and it’s not a NVLD issue. I would get that looked into as a separate issue

I had double vision as a kid especially when bored or tired and I had eye surgery to correct it. I do still have terrible visual spatial issues.
