* Twilight Sparkle [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this in ''Fanfic/AddressUnknown'' by taking a potion designed to temporarily mimic Derpy's eye problems. As she tells Derpy later, "For a pony with normal sight to suddenly see like you do, it's entirely debilitating. I could barely stand, let alone walk; I knocked over everything in my path, and I nearly gagged from the intense vertigo it caused. But you... You may be slightly clumsy, and not fly entirely straight, but you've adapted to it enough to function as well as anypony else. Right now, I can truthfully grasp how amazing you really are. Not only have you adjusted to your condition, you've come close to nullifying its effects while enduring agonizing emotions all the while."
