Big perceived changes today

 Not so much in qualia but eyes seem straighter.  Changing my gaze from one object to another, I notice both eyes kind of automatically land close to where they should.  It feels awesome looking around.  

I'm going to stop talking about when this is going to happen, and just live my life and each moment.  I am really enjoying myself, and this journey at the moment.  Man, it feels good.  I feel like when I have that feeling, it's me moving in the right direction.  I've had a lot of those moments during the week.  And I suppose that's why I've had such a rewarding day: it's the payoff of having so many of those little 'feel-good' moments when noticing I'm using my eyes correctly, moving in the right direction, and stretching my capabilities.

Over the hump

 There were previous blog entries where I talked about a type of regret that I didn't take my vision therapist's advise of using prism lenses, because of the speculation that it would have way cut down on the time it would take for me to achieve my goals.  I kinda sorta still have that regret.  But at this point, I don't think it matters, because I have much lower visual conflict these days, so the channel is really allowed to open up now.  

My vision feels so good these days, and things are moving so fast, I kind of want to say I will have achieved my goals in a month or two.  It'll probably be more like 6 or 12 months, but ... with the speed with which I'm seeing and feeling improvement ... it's hard to think that it will be that long.

Yep, things are definitely accelerating

 Today has been another holy shit day, especially when near the end.  Had a pretty long (almost 14 hour) shift today.  It's an extremely exciting time.

Feels like things are accelerating again

 Had another big day today.  Hard to describe.  The vision is moving in a positive direction for sure.

Smooth, positive change

 Lately, it's just... totally bananas.  More and more, I'm getting a better understanding of what it means to use both eyes.  It's a smooth ramp.  Less, and less do I have to be concentrated on my vision.  It is extremely enjoyable to press the button, and to be continually rewarded with improved vision and depth effect.  It's also that feeling you get when you know you're using your eyes in the right way.  Feels awesome.  It is definitely coming.  Not sure when.  But it feels like it could be six months away.

Amazing changes

 Another giant leap today.  

I didn't really do anything new.   I just worked a lot, staring into a monitor quite a bit.  Odd that it seemed to correlate with improved vision--staring into a monitor--that's terrible for your eyes, right?  That's what they say. 

 But that hasn't been my experience.  As long as you're focused and using good posture, and you periodically look off into the distance to give your intraocular muscles a break.  

I've noticed that improved vision is often accompanied by a system shock--whether it's after a night of hard drinking, or lack of sleep (I pulled an all-nighter last night with a 30 minute nap in the middle of the day.).

But yeah, I mean, it's definitely a noticeable change.  I wonder how many more of these there will be.  

How has it changed?  I guess, it's that it's becoming easier to control both eyes simultaneously is what I'm noticing--like it requires less attention and mental effort.   It's definitely an interesting and new direction to work toward.

Wearing in the groove

 I'm more convinced now than ever that I don't have to make any additional changes to my routine/regimen in order to achieve my goals.  All I have to do is continue wearing in the groove.  I played quite a bit of VR of the weekend.  The depth is coming in, and the difference in image quality accommodation between the eyes narrowing.  Gotta just keep deepening the groove.  Maybe do some things to increase neuroplasticity.  I know tDCS does that.  So do SSRIs.  So do ketogenic diets, apparently.  However, I think keto and this strict diet I have is good enough.  I may mess with tDCS a bit more in the coming days.  Gotta prep the saline, and hairbands, and electrodes.
