Inching my way to a perceptual shift

Vision really is steadily improving.  The double images are getting closer and closer.  And I'm noticing more and more that I'm able to pay attention through both eyes at the same time.  It really is quite trippy.  I've also been noticing more and more that my eyes look straighter than ever.  I'm very happy. 

I've even reached out to Dr. Tran a while back to talk about perhaps getting back into Vivid Vision.  Reason being, that now that my eyes are so straight and doing so well, now might be a better time than ever to do anti-suppression exercises.  Vivid Vision games are very anti-suppressive, among other things.  Tuan said, absolutely, he would like to get me back on.  But he would like me to first get an evaluation from an optometrist in the area.  Well, that kinda sucks, I'm sorta doubtful that's going to happen with the whole COVID thing going on and whatnot.  Still, I should like to see. 

One thing I've noticed that might be helping quite a bit is playing a new VR game that I got--Half Life: Alyx.  The whole deal with Half-Life: Alyx is that it is the first truly AAA quality VR game we've seen.  They've nailed the graphics, physics/interactivity, as well as combat and storytelling.  It is, simply put, the best VR game (and I might argue the best game ever created) currently out there by a long shot.  It is incredibly immersive and engaging.  For this reason, I think it's been more helpful in developing my vision than other applications. 

Anyway, not much else to say other than that.  I have not gone a day without thinking about my vision for nearly ten years.  Sometimes it takes that long.
