I just reread my post from December 25th, 2013. It's always interesting to compare thoughts over time. Often we get lost in the day to day to remember the overall progress we have made. I remember being able to do some bar reading for the first time ever in January…continue reading →

For a previous post I uploaded a video recorded in December, 2011 and went on to compare it to a video captured in May, 2014. The images were self-explanatory and it was pretty spectacular! I recommend for anyone with strabismus to make videos of their eyes. It's great to monitor…continue reading →

Recently a VT friend of mine named Pasquale asked me how I had progressed in executing the Aperture Rule ever since I wrote 'Doing time' two years ago. Last week I asked my Vision Therapist whether I could try the AR again to verify. Two years ago I only…continue reading →

I've been reading up on the link between vision and the vestibular system. It's been quite instructive to say the least. Of course it's annoying not to be able to align the eyes and have double vision while reading etc... However, there's more. It's very interesting how compromised eye movements,…continue reading →

About a week ago me and a man named Ryan Brooks had a thought-provoking conversation on my Facebook wall. I had just shared my latest blog entry 'The margin of error'. He commented "I always find your posts extremely interesting. I had a bleed in the brain stem which has…continue reading →

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 →

This weekend I attended a friend's wedding. I enjoyed it immensely. It was a reminder of the fact that not everything in life has to be a struggle. Not everything needs to be difficult. It's nice to see so many happy faces celebrating a joyous occasion. During the last three…continue reading →

I had another training session on Tuesday. I did more 'feeling depth' in anaglyph pictures by reaching out for them with my fingers. It's very exciting how that keeps working. This practice also enhances physiological diplopia. That makes sense given that this ability is based on positioning your eyes correctly,…continue reading →

Head rotations Last week, for the first time, I had a completely stable percept while doing my head turns. I couldn't believe it! I thought I was suppressing or something but I wasn't. Both eyes were just heedlessly adjusting to the head movements without error. It must be great…continue reading →
