Man, I'm making fast progress. This is exciting as hell. Right now the objective markers of progress are not super obvious. However, in the evening when I go into VR, the subjective markers are very obvious. It is getting increasingly immersive even while I still have obvious diplopia (I can see two barrels of the M4 rifle I use). But I am seeing more, and am becoming more of a visual animal. It's good for morale.
I did just get back from grocery stores. Grocery stores are another good thing for gauging progress as they they are designed to be visually stimulating. I did wander in there, and noticed how bright things are, and noticeably more stimulating. I am definitely becoming a more visual animal.
Something struck me funny as I recalled the conversation I had with the optometrist the other day. He mentioned that it was rare for adults to gain stereopsis. I fully understand that--and I fully get why it's so rare. It requires an unbelievable amount of grit and persistence--an amount that the vast bulk of people simply cannot muster. So... why did he recommend a vision therapist if it's likely that I would not achieve my goals? heh. Something stinks about it.
Another thing that stinks about it is that he said that I would not be able to achieve my goals without a vision therapist. We'll see about that, won't we.
