Is there a vision disorder in which you can't see what is right in front of your face?

@DunningKruger opposite. Thank you for your answer though.

@DunningKruger There's a wonderful book I read about 20 years ago called "Phantoms in the Brain" by V. S. Ramachandran. It's mainly about phantom limbs and how they're generated in the brain, but there's also a section about similar effects in the visual cortex... and it discussed cases like your friend's, in the example he gave, the patient saw cartoon characters in the missing area!

There may also be something similar discussed in Oliver Sacks' two wonderful books "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and "An Anthropologist on Mars", although it's been so long since I read them that I can't remember which book has which cases in them.

@perceptivei I say this because a shirttail relation had the "cannot see an object" symptom happen as he had a stroke while driving and hit a parked car which he did not see.

Examination revealed the stroke.

Please get checked out. Be prepared for a possible CAT/other scan of your brain; I believe it was a CAT scan which was done to a family member to find or rule out a micro-stroke.

You need to get this sorted out quickly.

@SomeMichGuy Okie.

@goodlil666 I will forget this answer.

@perceptivei that depends ...

@Convivial from monsters?

@perceptivei that's one way of describing them lol

@JimboSaturn I'm thinking that might be it.

Eye doctor said I don't have much wrong with my eyes. Perhaps, it's my vision.

@perceptivei Maybe

@perceptivei it’s called hyperopia

Farsightedness.. if it’s a newer occurrence it could be just part of aging

If it came on fast though and out of nowhere (vision was crisp and clear before) then you should maybe seek another opinion

@therighttothink50 I did, but I think it was my inability to focus.

@therighttothink50 I say this, because it only happened when I woke up one night from sleeping.

@smileylovesgaming How would I know?
