“Dyspraxia affects co-ordination, spatial awareness and sensory perception”

Eye coordination issues which sometimes result in the same symptoms as described in this article. I particularly identify with the lady who says: 'just…continue reading →

Herb Black: Geologist turned Optometrist after 3D vision discovery

"I had never had 3D vision, but didn't really know it until I was an adult. I noticed I had no 3D vision because, as a geologist, my colleagues would look at stereo pairs of aerial photos, fuse them in free space or with a viewer, and see 3D. I could not…continue reading →

“As I see in much more stereo, I feel much more calmness in my brain”

"I still have strabismus, but I am relearning to see in 3D. When I am able to use both eyes and see stereoscopically, I can really sense much more depth. I think that the visual system innately ties into the brain to create a spatial effect. It really does look…continue reading →

The margin of error

The margin of error

Interestingly, my strabismus was developmental since the age of three but in a relatively short amount of time I lost many of my adaptations (suppression, strabismic ways of eye teaming) to cope with misalignment of the eyes. First my suppression gradually declined because of life style, i.e. overly zealous studying,…continue reading →
Session 72: In pursuit of more speed, accuracy and consistency

Session 72: In pursuit of more speed, accuracy and consistency

The foundation has been put in place. Finishing it up by perfecting the collaboration between vergence (eye movements) and accommodation (manipulation of the eye lens by your tiny muscles in the eye) and increasing capacity will be the closing deal. Major physical restrictions have been largely eliminated. More speed, more accuracy…continue reading →
