Hello, name is MellowFresh. I am partly blind in one eye, and I want some advice on how to improve my gaming. I play on a 43 inch INSIGNIA 4K TV like it really matters but I felt like adding it in. Anyways, I play random games but since I can't really see well in my right eye, I would like to know if anyone is also having the same issues as me and what type of games would be perfect or what can I do to improve my vision in games? Or maybe perhaps a new game with better accesibility ? My left eye is 20/100 and my right eye is all hand movement so yeah it's pretty bad. IDK why I bothered gaming honestly, my friends got me into it so i'm addicted. I'm pretty honest and I don't know what to do to improve my gaming skills.. Maybe a magnifier perhaps? I don't wanna be totally zoomed in coz i'd get my eyes hurt haha. Let me know thank you.

I have a thing, i always forget what it's called, where my eyes don't really work together. I can use them both, but I'm consciously switching to use my non-dominant eye. Which ever eye I'm not using offers a bit of periphery, but not binocular vision.

Although I've never had it, so I'm well adapted. If I lost my left eye in a bet it might take me a minute to notice. Left eye being my bad eye and fortunately not dominate.

Sooo, and maybe I'm imagining it wrong. Would covering your bad do anything to help? Or does the right eye not bother you like that?

Bro, is there any type of laser eye treatment you can go for? I've heard a lot of stories about people getting their vision fixed with laser treatment. I wish you all the best, my gaming friend.
