"Hi Susanna,
So glad you are able to travel comfortably. Mexico sounds dreamy! My two cents: Most people are clueless about our VT experience; however, I truly believe they don't mean to be disrespectful. Just as we are unable to experience 3D…"

Kari Minnick replied to Susanna Z's discussion How to get others to respect that you can't see a 3D movie? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' ForumKari Minnick replied to Susanna Z's discussion What do you do when your own family doesn't believe your hidden disability? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Thanks again for starting this group.
Ah, yes, the artists discussions! Back in the day, I did a lot of drawing from a model. I was always good at it and loved the process. Still do but no time of late to partake. I have a theory that the…"
Kari Minnick replied to Susanna Z's discussion What do you do when your own family doesn't believe your hidden disability? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hi Susanna,
I applaud your tenacity especially with the side effects you have been having. They are real and hopefully, temporary. I have been in VT for over two years now and I'm here to support and commiserate which I have done far to little…"
Kari Minnick replied to Sue Barry's discussion Visual Snow in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"I have experienced vibrating wall in closed in spaces since doing VT! I would describe it as a flickering of light. I usually notice it on my left side (left amblyopic eye). I remember a lot of visual snow as a child but not as an adult.

Kari Minnick replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion Improvement in concentration? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"It sounds like you have made great progress! I fell asleep during Star Wars when I was 18...on a date! I have always had a difficult time concentrating on action movies. I look forward the change in my ability to focus. I have the same reaction to…"
Kari Minnick replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion New exercise I came up with in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hello everyone and welcome Pablo!
I have been doing another see-through occlusion exercise. It involves putting a dab of goop- something like silly putty- on the inside third of one side of my reading glasses. This is really hard to describe! I look…"
Kari Minnick replied to Anna K's discussion Different experiences for alternating and non-alternating strabismics? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hi Kathe,
For the longest time we (during therapy) patched my strong eye and worked on tracking with my weaker eye, although we made a point of alternating the patching of both eyes as a warm up. Then for quite a stretch we did mostly binocular…"
Kari Minnick replied to Anna K's discussion Different experiences for alternating and non-alternating strabismics? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Congratulations on your progress!
You describe my experience precisely; with the exception being that I am much older and I assume that the process is much slower! The acuity in my weak eye has improved greatly but I have a long way to go. I have…"
Kari Minnick replied to Traci's discussion Is Strabismus a Genetic/Inherited Eye Disorder? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Traci,
First of all, congratulations! Was it morning sickness after all or the VT? Probably both!
I don't know a thing about the genetic component of strabismus (or lack thereof) but I can relate my experience. I, too, was born with infantile…"
Kari Minnick replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Fusion in Real Life" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"I've been away from Sovato for awhile too...This thread compelled me to jump in-
I've had a few similar experiences lately! The first was a few weeks ago at the gym. After a strenuous workout, I made my way to my locker and glanced at my…"
Kari Minnick replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Fusion in Real Life" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Susanna,
I can't keep one language straight on the best of days! You just have more info in your brain to get scrambled!
I believe you are talking about Dale Chihouly. He was a glass blower who lost an eye in a car accident. Glass…"
Kari Minnick replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Fusion in Real Life" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Thank you, Susanna!
The question as to how my artwork will change is a common one. I have no clue how this will go. I have had to make some changes recently in my studio practice. A few days ago, I was so wiped out and queasy after VT, that I…"
Kari Minnick replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Fusion in Real Life" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hello everyone! I joined this group a day before my 6 month evaluation just a few weeks ago but haven't had the time to chime in. I'm absolutely thrilled to have this forum. Here's what I sent to Sue Barry just prior to the…"
