    I have the same problem.  It affects me almost every day.  I occasionally can remember a face after seeing it only once...however usually those faces have distinct features.  I've struggled for many years because it's taken me years to finally remember the faces of my neighbours and relatives I see each year.  Watching movies is often difficult because I often confuse (mostly the men) characters.

    Who can I speak to about this? I know there isnt any reatment...however I'm intrested in this condition and I'd like to know more about it.

      I have the same problem! I find the men more confusing too now I think about it.

      I've lived here for 8 years and still don't recognise most of my neighbours.

      I would love to know more about it, and take part in research, if there is any.
