Wonka 39 December 31, 2011 Share December 31, 2011 I mean, to say, assuming that she's been born with her derpy eyes, wouldn't she have? In other words, would Derpy have learned to "manage her eyes." Hard to express it or to put it in words, but let's put it this way: Derpy could've got help for her eyes, learned tricks and tips and whatnot so that she could use her eye sight just like a normal person with normal eyes. In other words, Derpy's eyesight shouldn't be affecting her, or at least not as much, especially her motor skills, if she's learned tips and tricks to use them just like any normal person.

Wonka 39 December 31, 2011 Author Share December 31, 2011 (edited) The creator said that the was a animation problem when they made her on the first episode. I stated in the OP that I assumed that she was born with them, and I should add to it, she was given them on purpose. And even if the eyes were a mistake, she now has them perminentally, thanks to the fandom, so it doesn't matter whether if the eyes were a mistake or not, she has them now.

Apple Bloom 2,934 December 31, 2011 Share December 31, 2011 (edited) I like to think that she was born with them and she probably has vision problems but has learned to cope with them. Though, I also think that she has slight mental issues to go along with her derped eyes so she may still have problems doing some things. But, she's not all that mental because (according to fanon) she has a job as a mail mare which I'm sure she had to have some sort of mental capacity to qualify for.

Scootaloo1 106 December 31, 2011 Share December 31, 2011 Most people with lazy eyes get used to it after a while, and they learn how to view the best way possible with their disability, much like anyone else with a different disability... Making it to adulthood, it appears that she must have grown used to it without taking anymore major physical damage, so one can assume that: Yes... Ditzy "Derpy Hooves" Doo has gotten used to her eyes the way they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You got a problem with blank flanks?

Slendermane 477 January 1, 2012 Share January 1, 2012 I think that she is used to them, and can see pretty well, but has some problems with depth perception. She may also have trouble focusing on one thing at a time. Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

DrOphthalmos 497 March 10, 2012 Share March 10, 2012 Derpy's eye condition mostly matches congenital/infantile esotropia which often also has vertical deviations. Since she would have had this as a filly, Derpy would be used to this in a way. If an adult suddenly had their eyes turn like hers (which happens with thyroid eye disease), they would have double vision and headaches. Derpy likely has very poor depth perception but she does not have double vision. Visual acuity may still be good in each eye if she cross-fixates (meaning she uses her left eye to look right and her right eye to look left). We have seen doctors in Equestria - where's the pediatric ophthalmologist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/mlp/ 106 March 10, 2012 Share March 10, 2012 Derpy obviously knows how to control her eyes, and that they look cool.....haters gonna hate derpy. Want me to fly around the world **doesn't move** Wanta see me do it again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daring Do 195 March 10, 2012 Share March 10, 2012 I think she may have gotten use to the sight. I mean, it may have been difficult at first, since most people instinctively can comprehend straight vision. But, in the end, it could be beneficial even! I mean, you could probably see more than twice normal eyes can! Great adventuring for great treasures!....Except when I'm hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
