Squint and Binocular vision

Tags: squint
After wearing spec for 52  years with many, many examinations I was told last month that I have a mild squint.

My main interests are playing tennis and badminton. Good binocular vision is obviously important.

How can I determine how much my binocular vision affects my game and what can be done?

Dear tommy47,

I would speak with your eyeMD to determine how much depth perception you have and how you can compensate for your vision.  Often, people adjust to what they have.
