#86 session

Especially today I've noticed quite a bit of difference in the quality of my vision.  Still, when I took a picture of my eyes last night, I saw quite a bit of hypertropia.  Weird.  I wonder if I'm going to still have hypertropia when I look at myself in the mirror in that way when I have stereopsis.  We're going to see.  I have so many questions that I want answers to but I won't have those answers until I'm done. Will I still have anomalous correspondence when I have fixed my vision?

When I looked into the tube, I noticed almost no difference in the accommodation with either of the double images.  The only thing that's obvious is that the lazy-eye image is drifting around a bit, and I'm also not getting full detail from that eye as a result of the suppression.  Other than that, I've been trying to notice any difference in accommodation and squelching it when it appears.  I've also been trying to get the brightness from the lazy-eye image as high as possible.  As with many other things, I've gained some conscious control in realtime as to how much my brain uses the input from the lazy eye.  The more the eye is used, the brighter the whole scene appears.

As for Special Tetris, this session went quite well.  I noticed quite a lot of cyclodeviation this time around, but as time went on, I was--and this is still amazing to me--able to untwist the perceived twisted image of the lazy eye.  I'm noticing quite a bit less 'driftage' this time around.  I mentioned what I mean by driftage in previous entries.  It's exactly what it sounds like.  For the most part the lazy eye's input doesn't stay stationary compared to the fixing eye.  Rather, it drifts around, like a shaky unstabilized video feed.  I imagine this is because the eye isn't yet fully integrated with the brain and the vestibulo-ocular system.  I know Heather told me that she knew exactly what I meant by 'driftage'.  But anyway--I'm seeing less of that when I play Special Tetris these days.  Much less.  And also, the proper alignment of the falling pieces is becoming much more automatic.  All positive indicators.  Everything is moving along as it should.

I've also been incorporating some older exercises, such as bouncy ball, and saccades for good measure.  I usually do those for another ten minutes.  I've been doing a crapload of VT lately.  I want to get as much work done as possible before I start my new job.
