#69 session

Oh hey.  It was a good session.  I am getting better at controlling both eyes.  I've been finding lately that I can better control accommodation not by paying attention to the image that I want to accommodate, but instead by paying attention to my eye--like, I pay attention to the presence of my eye and think about the feeling I get when that eye accommodates for something.  That seems to be more effective for gaining control over the eye.  There was no obvious difference from this session to the previous sessions.  Actually, that's not true at all.  This was a pretty easy session.  The sessions from the last few previous days were ridiculously stressful.

Saccades were good.  I think I'm going to start incorporating Tetris for strabismics into my routine.  I was working in my local Hackerspace building a light tube replica, and I was talking with some dude about strabismus.  He told me about a version of Tetris that shows you the stacked pieces with the fixing eye, and the falling pieces with the lazy eye.  This reminded me of conversations that I had with Michael Lievens about that game and how it's apparently extremely effective at fixing strabismus.  Some people have gained stereopsis by playing this game within five weeks, which is incredible when you compare it to my approximate 120 weeks of vision therapy.  Someone from my Vision Therapy for Adults Facebook group pointed me to a Github location that has a download for this game.  I wonder whether it uses anaglyph glasses for filtering.
