Yeah, I'm getting excited again. I was hoping November would be the month, but now that it's almost over, it seems unlikely. That said, I have made massive progress, and have seen massive improvement this month. I'm talking about both objective markers (double images coming together, looking at things), as well as subjective markers (perceived depth and bigness, as well as changes when I play games in VR. At the moment, I see no reason to make changes to my routine.
Keep going.
Damn. I haven't fused yet, but wow. I am making a lot of progress on the amblyopia. I was not expecting this, but it appears my reading speed has increased quite a lot. I guess it's because I'm now using both eyes when I read, and when I switch from one eye to another, there's a lot less switching. I am switching, but it's much more subtle. I don't know if it's doubled or tripled, but it's made my reading both much faster and more enjoyable. I know Susan Barry has mentioned that when she gained stereopsis there were other changes to her cognition--as though the inter-hemispherical communication improved, and her brain began working in a more integrated way than before. That may be part of what is going on for me as well.
It just sucks. It makes me wonder how many more books I would have read if I had binocular vision at an earlier age.
Binocular vision is a big deal.
And for reasons that aren't readily apparent. I was right to put so much energy and work into this. My instincts were correct all along.
