Rolling around and smaller glasses

 I'm so close I can taste it.  But I still have at least a few more weeks to go.  

Lately, I've changed the way I do Columns a bit.  It's something I've done a lot in the past, but it seems more relevant to me now.  It's what I call 'rolling', where I look at one symbol (it's either a number or letter) on the left eye, and I slowly roll over to the corresponding signal on the right side.  I do it slowly, so that I can spread myself across the eyes.  I've seen huge improvement in this domain, because I can now seamlessly switch between eyes, so I can sort of pseudocontrol both eyes simultaneously.  This is, after all, what I'm going for.  I think it may be bearing fruit.  I just got done with today's session.

Also, I recently bought +.75 Diopter reading glasses and then popped out the left-side lens.  So I've been using that instead of +1 Diopter, because I want the sides to be as even in size as possible.  

Progress is simultaneously slow and fast.  It definitely feels like I've got a lot of locked in gains over the weeks.  Double vision is almost entirely gone, with the exception of a few key areas (like my feet).  So I still have a bit more work to go, but the progress has been undeniable, especially when looking at my eyes in the mirror.  They're almost straight.  I'm so close.  I think I just have to keep doing what I'm doing, keep the pedal on the metal, check in every few weeks.  

Also, I put myself on an email list for Optics Trainer VR Home.  I assume it's like Vivid Vision, but they say the software will be released this month.  So I'm excited to try it out.  

Yeah, things are going well right now

 Quite a bit of progress over the previous week.  It's hard to explain, but I feel like progress is very real now.  Pedal to the metal.

What's happening now

I think what's doing most of the work is the anti-suppression exercises I'm doing.  I've mentioned it in other entries, but briefly, it's Game-Blyopia, which uses red/green filter glasses.  Under them, I have +1 diopter reading glasses with the lens popped out on the left side.  For maybe 2-3 weeks I used +1.5, and I think that was a mistake.  The difference in the size of the image on each side was too different.  When I switched to +1.0, I noticed the difference.  

And it is making a huge difference.  It feels like it's all coming together.  So, my theory is that I had very strong suppression, because for most of my life I never had double vision.  My brain adapted exceedingly well to strabismus.  That made life easier for then.  But it also means that I have an especially large amount of work to do now.  Fortunately, I think I have all the pieces in place, and I just have to keep my pedal on the metal and undo the suppression with my anti-suppression exercises.  

I've been toying with the idea of doing more Brock String to work on mobility, but I kinda already do it by doing neighborhood walks and cruising around on my OneWheel.  Can't hurt.  I have the string already, may need to create another acrylic concentric ring-type deal. 

Getting closer.

 It is a slow.  But I'm making gradual progress.  I don't think I have to make any changes to the regimen.   

So I did make one change, which is when I do Game-Blyopia, I switched from 1.5 diopter glass to 1.0 diopter reading glass (I poked the lens out of the right eye).  Change is indeed coming.  I'm taking it one week at a time.

Everything else is pretty similar.  I do notice the double images are coming together when I look at perspective lines (like tile grout and road markings).  Objective markers are indeed coming together.  It's retarded how long I've kept at this.  At the moment, there's really nothing to do, but keep doing what I'm doing and keep making check-ins periodically.
