Vision therapy progress in numbers and charts

November 29th, 2010: 14 degrees* ESO**, no fusion, no stereovision

April 7th, 2011: 8 degrees ESO, peripheral fusion, no stereovision

September 28th, 2011: 4 degrees ESO, peripheral fusion, upcoming central fusion, no stereovision

March 29th, 2012: 3 degrees ESO, peripheral fusion, central fusion, no stereovision

September 6th, 2012: aligned eyes, peripheral fusion, central fusion, double vision in daily life is gradually declining, no stereovision

May 2nd, 2013: aligned eyes, fusional area expanding, double vision usually absent, no stereo vision

October 3th, 2013: aligned eyes also increasingly while being in motion, double vision almost entirely absent except during reading, no stereo vision (even though I read a stereogram correctly 'by chance' so maybe I'm close)

April 1st, 2014: aligned eye posture increasingly solid; remaining convergence insufficiency while reading (double vision); stereo tests reveal latent ability to perceive some kind of depth but no conscious stereo vision; need for more speed, accuracy and consistency in ocular motor skills to fully unfold sensory modalities

* 1 degree = 1,75 prism diopter / 1 prism diopter = 0,57 degrees
**ESO= esotropia= cross-eyed as opposed to EXO=exotropia= wall-eyed

Check-up 5 (After one year and eight months of VT)

Today was check up time! They measured the progress in numbers. Over this one year and 8 months I've come 14 degrees of difference initially to 8 and then 4, then 3 and now finally ZERO! This means most of the times my eyes are alligned. I noticed this before by intermittant single vision showing its head. Now it's official :) Thing to do next is keep it up and automize it. Make this visual system more flexible untill ultimately 3D vision kicks in. 3D vision is the goal, it's the key to locking down this progress. Without it, if I were to stop, I will just regress to where I started. So it's not over, but definitely good news!

Maybe later I'll post a schematic overview of the evolution of my progress over this extensive period of time for completeness' sake.
