Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and Nystagmus?

Hi :D I also have Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. I am 27 years old and live in Australia. Unfortunately, there are no ways in terms of eye exercises you can do to strengthen your vision, as the condition has nothing to do with your eyes, nor your brain. It has to do with the nerves which connect them. You say you suffer from Nystagmus? I just looked it up and it means involuntary movements of the eyes, which quite possibly might explain your eye turning in. Looking at laptops and desktop computer screens can put quite a fair bit of strain on your eyes, depending on your computer's settings. I have my desktop computer set up so that pretty much everything is easy for me to see, and it's a touchscreen one so if I can't see where the mouse is I can touch whatever it is that I want to select and away I go. Your vision score would definitely be more like 20/80 as standard vision is 20/20. I understand what you mean by things getting a bit blurry sometimes when they are far away and when print is too small to read. As for getting your mom to understand the degree of sight you have, try this: When you're out next, let it be on the way to the supermarket or to school, tell her when you can read approaching street signs or store names. I do that when I try to explain to people how far I can see with my right (good) eye. As for my left eye, I explain to people that all I can see is a mass of colors, with little or no definition. I can make out movement, but nothing else. Do you receive help at school? If you do let them know what fonts and what font sizes are easier for you to read. Maybe even consider getting in touch with the American Foundation for the Blind or ask your doctor or school counsellor if there are any other organizations out there that may be able to help you out more than I have.They might be able to help explain it all to you and your mom, too. Good luck and all the best for you.
