Hello MXO

[DeadEyes]

Oh I agree completely and I have been doing other things it's just that this is part of my "therapy" to relearn things and to see what I can or cant do. Up until a few months ago my vision was pretty bad but by sheer luck/boredom I tried playing a video game and I saw an improvement in my vision.

What had happened was, because I had to lay face down and ussually had my eyes closed (on and off for nearly six months) my eyes had attrophied from disuse, in addition to what vision I have left. This resulted in my perception of things being, distorted. Try to imagine every straight ledge, line, etc being curved. You know its supposed to be straight but you eyes are telling your brain its not. This would give me headaches so I would keep my eyes closed most of the time and just listen to audio books (I probably listened to more books in the past two years than I have read in my entire life).

Anyway, like I was saying one day I decided to play a video game and after a few days my vision started to straighten out. We think that having to track so many things in a typical game setting, visually speaking that is, caused my eyes to "get back into shape" So now, I play a bit each day just to keep my eyes "in shape".... I guess you could say that its midicinal video gaming, lol.


Anyway thanks for letting me know the status of the EMU, I might stick around on these forums, the color scheme is easier on my eyes than most and I dont have to rely on my text reader to read here.
