Holy crap

 No, I do not yet have stereopsis.

 But damn, I had another kind of breakthrough.  It seems as though my right eye is getting a lot more powerful, and I'm getting better at controlling it in conjunction with the left eye.  

I'm just noticing that text is beginning to get bigger and more clear than it was before.  There's less and less difference between the two images.  

Being able to use both eyes... man.  What a trip.  Kind of psychedelic, walking around, still being able to see objects that are obstructed by one eye.  But hey, I've got two eyes, so I can still see the partially obstructed object with the other eye.  Pretty nifty. 

 And also... there's something I want to say, in addition to that.  It's actually pleasurable to look around.  Just getting a lot more information than I used to.  It's kind of like I can actually will my eyes to turn on (not suppress), which is a weird, psychedelic thing.  I can feel the information flow through, and it feels awesome.  I can feel the new pathways being used, and rewiring themselves.  It's fucking sweet.  Can't wait to see what happens next. 

Oh yeah, I should mention what I'm doing with vision therapy.

Nothing, essentially.  My eyes are basically doing what they need to do. I can get the double images on top of each other pretty much most of the time, which tells my brain that it no longer needs to suppress.  So I'm, in essence,  doing vision therapy all of the time now, automatically.  My vision is automatically improving itself over time.  Coasting my way to victory, as it were.  Aside from that, I try to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day playing virtual reality games, which I do believe helps by providing ultra-powerful stereo cues.  But yeah.  Damn.  Awesome.
