Lately motor fusion is becoming more of a given rather than a struggle. Because of the last two surgeries, almost five years ago, both converging as well as diverging my eyes had become a problem.

I was quite confident coming to this 6th check-up meeting. My optometrist was equally pleased. Two years and five months before, when I first met him, I was having constant diplopia and a batch of other problems because of it. I wasn't able to align my eyes nor was I…continue reading →

I took the wrong train to get to my optometrists office today. I had to run and still arrived eight minutes late... At least I made it. The running however messed up my visual performance during this training session. I used to be a great runner but it's always been…continue reading →

Amblyopia (lazy eye) is the incomplete development of binocular or two-eyed vision in the brain.

A while ago I came up with an intuitive scale defining the worst kind of double vision leading to 'functional blindness' as -100, the tiniest bit of stereo vision as zero and a visual system performing up to its full potential as +100. Coming from -100, I position myself at…continue reading →
