#4 session

I usually listen to podcasts while doing vision therapy exercises, but I decided to stop that, at least while doing the light tube.

This was a pretty decent session.  I noticed that it was a bit harder and my hypertropia was more noticeable, but this was probably a result of having more attention allotted for the task.  I did it.  It wasn't particularly hard, but it does seem to be doing something.  When I'm in front of the mirror I usually check on the hypertropia of my left eye.  It does seem to be diminishing!

I'd been doing vision therapy for 2.5 years, which sucks.  Heather got her vision fixed in a year, and that's even with four months of being with a clueless vision therapist.  But if there's an advantage to having done vision therapy for as long as I have, it's that I'd had plenty of time for experimentation.  I'd become sensitized to the efficacy of different exercises.  It's easier for me to establish cause and effect.  And it seems that it's possible that in just a few treatments of Syntonics, a lot was done to ameliorate my hypertropia, relative half a year of intensive a prism-loading antihypertropic exercises. I'm not 100%, but I'm becoming more and more convinced.  We'll see where we are in a month.

Another thing--I've been doing saccades immediately after looking into the light tube.  That seems to be getting easier as well, in particular when the lazy eye is looking to the extreme right, and especially the extreme bottom right.  I'm getting quicker and more accurate.  This may be a good indicator that I can bump up the antisuppression exercises.
