Does a big nose and dorsal hump cause issues with seeing the blurred outline of your nose in your vision?

Question

The faint outline of the nose is always in my vision, but no problem has been detected with the eyes. Is the size of the nose a factor in this or is it completely unrelated?

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

A large nose should not impact your vision in any significant way. Best of luck if you decide ot have a rhinoplasty.

Earl E. Ferguson III, MD, FACS · Answer

Like any other object in your field of view, a large nose can definitely be more visible to you than a smaller one. This is almost certainly not a vision issue, so it would likely improve to some degree after rhinoplasty.

Garrett H. Bennett, MD · Answer

Everybody can see their own nose. You may be more aware of this if you have a larger nose. If you have a procedure to decrease the size of your nose you will still see it but may be less aware of it. There is no visual problem with a larger nose except that it can block your vision a little looking down and inward.
