It's another day with the Alpha Omega filters. Again, I did it with no distraction. It was a little different than the previous sessions. I push the lazy-eye image upward higher than the normal-eye image in hopes that it will stay in its preferred place with a kind of muscle memory. I also make effort in trying to mentally occupy its place, in the same way that I occupy the place of the normal eye simultaneously. This way, instead having to keep jumping back up to the normal-eye image, it should just stay there. The lazy-eye image does continue to keep drifting downward, but the jumps are smaller and quicker, almost as if they will eventually disappear as the lazy-eye image continually stays on top of the other image. This seems to be the way to do it. It was a surprisingly good workout.
Immediately after I did this, I did eight minutes of saccades. Those are getting better as well. I do notice that I make a 'good' saccade; that is, when I saccade on target with both eyes I do sometimes get a sense of 'whoa', like I just got hit with something, and there is a slight sense of confusion as if my eyes are fighting for control with one another. This is something that Heather said that she encountered a number of times when she was in the final stages of gaining stereopsis, so this seems to be an indicator of moving in the right direction. Hopefully this continues to happen until my brain realizes that it can use both input streams.
