I'm just curious in sort of informally assaying this question in the forum. This applies to people with AIS. I'm wondering if people might be comfortable sharing, if they know, whether or not they require visual correction (and how much) and the extent of their curves. Specifically I'm interested in 4 measures:
Right eye vision: (diopters and/or visual acuity)
Left Eye vision: (diopters and/or visual acuity)
Major curve before surgery (if applicable): (degrees, position)
Minor curve before surgery (if applicable): (degrees, position)
In the absence of all of this information, I'd be at least interested in qualitative descriptions of eyesight and curves. Is one eye significantly better than the other? Approximately how severe was the extent of the curve?
I'll begin:
Right eye vision: 20/480 (-5.25 diopters)
Left Eye vision: 20/450 (-5.00 diopters)
Major curve before surgery: about 65 degrees thoracic
Minor curve before surgery: about 50 degrees lumbar
Since scoliosis may be developmental, I'm interested, quite generally, in left/right differences (eyesight, hearing, body hair distribution) and how they might relate to scoliosis.
Some background literature for this:
Laterality of curves in enucleated pinealectomized chickens
Visual Deficiency and Scoliosis
Handedness and scoliosis
Right eye vision: (diopters and/or visual acuity)
Left Eye vision: (diopters and/or visual acuity)
