My left eye drifts

When I realized, I didn’t think much of it. I thought my vision was clear, it didn’t affect me. I thought it was a simple quirk. Something to share as an icebreaker. 

How long have I had it? If no one pointed it out before, and I haven't seen any differences then surely, it’s nothing. 

Not long after, I realized I lacked depth perception. I worked retail, stocking cans and I realized something. Until I put them side by side, I couldn't see the difference between an 8oz and 12oz redbull. 

Silly enough, I put the fear aside. I can still see, and surely this was a one-off thing. I can still see. 

I draw a lot, and I consider myself very detail oriented. I can see my mistakes. Often it’s my technical skill holding me back as I imagine a higher standard than I can illustrate. 

Their being a problem within myself I couldn't see is terrifying. 

I have glasses, when I take them off the change is immediately noticeable. My vision is blurred, but I’ve gotten so used to them I often forget I’m wearing them. Silly relatable thing of looking for them despite being right in front of me. You’d think having clear eyesight would be enough of a hint to find them. Something something, glad it’s not a snake. 

Before they were prescribed I didn’t know I needed them. I thought my vision was normal. I literally couldn't see the problem. 

There was depth I couldn't see. 
There is no metaphor. I've had my eyes checked out.
