You are truly an innovator.<br /><br />I hope your therapy has been very successful, and it sounds like you don't need the reinforcement of R/G to know when you're suppressing at this point.<br /><br />Have you considered working in this field? You would make an extraordinary therapist (or behavioral optometrist, for that matter)!Dr. Samantha Slotnicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478157900665324374.post-25556425064483389132011-04-11T21:32:58.103-04:002011-04-11T21:32:58.103-04:00Hey, this is #3 on google.

Actually I started using the red/green tar...Thanks! Actually I started using the red/green targets because it made it easier for me. I had trouble getting physiological diplopia in front of the object of centration for two reasons - suppression, and not being able to feel if both eyes were pointed at the target. All of the usual advice about "look into the distance" or "look past it" never helped me, because the way I normally look into the distance is to use one eye.<br /><br />Using the red/green targets with this exercise solved one of those problems - it revealed if my eyes were pointed at the target. Once I knew that I was pointing them in the right place, I kept pointing them there until the suppression started breaking down.<br /><br />Now that some of the suppression is gone, I don't need the red/green glasses and and red/green targets as much. I have enough diplopia now that, with small objects, I can make them double on their own. I then move my eyes until the double images overlap, and I can achieve physiological diplopia in front of the object (like the professor picture).<br /><br />(Phys-dip behind an object has always been easier, due to the location of my suppression scotomas, and I have been able to do it since childhood)<br /><br />Anyway, the point is - I'm glad you like it! And it may seem like it would be more taxing, but I found the contrary to be true. It took a taxing exercise that I couldn't accomplish and made it doable.squintyjoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478157900665324374.post-9583656278613911762011-03-16T12:28:38.760-04:002011-03-16T12:28:38.760-04:00Brilliant exercises Josh.

But who knows? I'm just an English teacher.<br /><br />It might be helpful for other reasons, though. You're training the weak eye to be as close to equal as possible to the good eye.

I'm wondering if patching the good right eye for 30 min a day while doing dishes, or near work, would help teach the brain that I want to use my whole left retina. I did this a couple of times figuring it wouldn't hurt, but oh the nausea after awhile ...Lyndarimkehttp://leavingflatland.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478157900665324374.post-10300123378169568402011-03-09T11:13:36.468-05:002011-03-09T11:13:36.468-05:00Lynda, I think you're right.

You explain it so well!<br /><br />I have been phy-dipping both ways, but it's still easier to get the background to double. I imagine I have less trouble with doubling foreground because of turn-in, not turn-out.<br /><br />I also have the reverse of your Y on the Brock string: I can always see the strings running TO the bead, and have more difficulty seeing the far side. Again, this is probably because of turn-in.<br /><br />Gotta love that Professor! Where would we be without her? :-)lyndarimkehttp://www.leavingflatland.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
