So, I gather you're doing all this on your own. That's vey good. I mean that your're going ahead, in spite of the absence of a vt optometrist, etc. It's also very good that you seem to have developped a program of vt…"

I found when I first started doing these, that I couldn't see much at all with the amblyopic eye; so I made graphics like these, which have details only in the graphic seen by the weak eye. Both eyes see…"

Dichoptic training enables the adult amblyopic brain to learn
....Adults with amblyopia, a common visual cortex disorder caused primarily by binocular disruption during an early critical period, do not respond to conventional therapy involving occlusion of one eye. But it is now clear that the adult human visual cortex has a significant degree of plasticity, .... One possibility is an inhibitory signal from the contralateral eye that suppresses cortical inputs from the amblyopic eye. .... Here we provide direct evidence that alleviating…
