Susan Hall replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion Do you control your eye alternation? An additional diffilculty. in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' ForumSusan Hall replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion A brain changing its ways - In the middle of the road in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Wow!! I am so happy for you!! Those of us here can sure appreciate the significance of this experience. It's a huge step to learn to be aware of what your eyes are doing. As I've been working at this VT stuff, I, too seem to be more…"
Susan Hall replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion Do you control your eye alternation? An additional diffilculty. in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Let's see if I can explain this (always hard to describe how one sees!)......
First of all, I have learned to converge my eyes to look at one thing with both eyes at the same time, but I also have a vertical component to my strabismus. So,…"
Susan Hall replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion Do you control your eye alternation? An additional diffilculty. in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Frances, I really think you've described my situation, too. I know when I have both or one eye working when I think of it, so (usually) know if I'm using both to see something. My thereapist keeps telling me to keep both eyes…"
Susan Hall replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion Do you control your eye alternation? An additional diffilculty. in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Wow, and here I thought I was fusing!! I'll definitely try what you said, thanks.
Don't I have to actually fuse to see 3D though?"
Susan Hall replied to Pablo Manzano's discussion Do you control your eye alternation? An additional diffilculty. in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Lynda, I, too, have the habit of always wanting to "check" what I'm seeing with on or the other eye. In fact, I read once (probably on this site) that everyone sees more clearly when they look with just one eye --the example of…"
Sue Barry replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Magic Eye" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hi Sue,
For the most part I do see the string images going through the same point when using the Brock string but this has taken a lot of practice. Also, my vertical deviation gets worse the further away I look so I sometimes see the string…"
Susan Hall replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Magic Eye" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Sue, you say you still have some vertical issues (as do I) so why is it we can see floaters so well, as well as other fusion targets (so to speak)? My theory is that my eyes/brain need to focus on something concrete and then the vertical issue…"
Susan Hall replied to Susanna Z's discussion You know you are in vision therapy when... in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"You know you're in vision therapy when you are so excited to notice you are using BOTH eyes to see the bottom of the glass you're drinking out of that you have to hurry up and post it -- but only to those "in the know""
Susan Hall replied to Nikki Lichtner's discussion VT text book? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Huh....never noticed the "notes" section of the book. I'll have to get it off the shelf and look myself!"
Susan Hall replied to Nikki Lichtner's discussion VT text book? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hi Nikki, I think I do understand your need to "understand" what's happening. I've not used my eyes together for 50 yrs, so I know I have a lot of mental blocks to using them better. I realize I need to grow new neurons as…"
Sue Barry replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Magic Eye" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hi Susan,
Like you, I can see the "floater" pictures and I love these. I see them almost immediately.
I too have problems seeing some images in the Magic Eye books. I can see the depth and make sense of the picture pretty…"
BlakeC replied to Susan Hall's discussion "Magic Eye" in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"Hi Susan,
I have worked some with Magic Eye stereograms and know exactly what you are talking about. At first I could only see small "pieces" of depth. I have now gotten to where I can see an entire image in the picture, but I…"

"Magic Eye"
I bet most of us were never able to see these images back when they were the rage in the '90's, I think. I remember carefully explaining to people why I can't and that I never will. Thank you, Sue--now I have hope that I can. Can you "get" them, Sue?They've become a part of my VT exercises now and although I can do randot pretty well, and fuse other images including getting "floater" pictures (pictures not with hidden images, but if you diverge right, the multiple images "float" all over the…See More
Susan Hall replied to Anna K's discussion Different experiences for alternating and non-alternating strabismics? in the group Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum"How great you can get the chick between the egg shells and stay there!That's huge :) I still tend to alternate. I wonder if there is spectrum of "alternators" and "non-alternators".... I could always use both eyes (although…"
