Way too technical

This article reads like a medical journal. It needs some explanation of some of the more complex terminology to make it more accessible to a general encyclopedia audience.

Need Information

Back in 1985, at the age of 14, I experienced a massive cerebral hemorrhage on the left outer side of my brain which caused temporary paralysis on the right side of my body and permanant damage to the optic nerves that lead to the right half of both of my eyes. So, visually speaking, I see half of what everyone else sees. In other words, imagine looking at a tree, cut it in half up the middle, discard the right side, and that is how I see with regular 3 dimensional vision (90 degress out of 180). My concern is, is there anyone in the medical field out there doing research on correcting this type of problem. I have lived more than half of my life like this, always depending on buses, friends and loved ones to help get me around, and I am fed up on depending on others. I have gotten a drivers liscense, and I have saved up some money to get a car, but have been scared half to death of doing this over many years because of all of the accidents out on the road caused by people with perfect vision. I will check back on this post to see if anyone responds.Rushman71 (talk) 19:27, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
