This session went quite well. It is morning, so it's not as good as it will be in four\five hour's time. What is there to say about it? Umm, I don't know. There was no difference from yesterday. I fudged--took breaks--fudged some more until the buzzer went off. I am noticing more and more than when I look out into the world that the double images are getting closer to one another. So I guess I'll leave it at that for now.
Saccades went quite well. I daresay they were again the best they'd been yet.
There was something I wanted to say, but I forget what. Shit. Maybe it'll come back later. Tschuess.
Edit:
ok, it just came to me. So last night when I did the light tube, I did very little fudging. The main thing that I was focused on was correcting for the hypertropia. It was constant and it was one of the most strenuous sessions that I had since session #15--or around those parts. But it wasn't unpleasant--rather, it was quite nice to have that fight again. I had talked about what I think is going on back in session #15 or around those parts. Basically what happened is the strenuousness of the exercises would continually vacillate. One day it would be a lot of work; the next day it would hardly be any work. What I think is happening is that as I continue vision therapy and make progress the brain engages the lazy eye more and more so that that what hypertropia is there (at this point, what little hypertropia is left) is really bothersome to the brain. Then when I do the light tube exercise, I fight to correct it more. The fighting usually results in less permanent hypertropia for the next time, so that the next time I do light tube exercises, the amount of hypertropia which is there is tolerable to the brain so that the session is much easier than the previous exercise. A few more sessions down the road, the brain will engage the eye more and so the hypertropia is again noticeable. So it keeps going back and forth in spurts.
Back in the session #15 days this vascillation would happen with high frequency--very two to three exercises I would strenuously fight against the hypertropia. Well, that doesn't happen too much these days. I am always fighting the hypertropia to some extent with my light tube exercises, but yesterday it was bananas. It was different and very strong. It's really interesting\exciting. It was surprising because I didn't expect to have to fight so much considering how little hypertropia remains. But it's good.
