<NOTE FROM MODERATOR:  Still a novice, I neglected to post the
correct id in the From: line when I posted the request from the
fellow with "lazy eye," a malady that appears to be connected with
virtual worlds technology because it involves the physiology of
stereoscopic vision. And now I received this helpful note. So I
will post the note here, and Don, who asked the question, can
communicate directly with apple!WYVERN.CIMDS.RI.CMU.EDU!Susan.Finger>


I have a lazy eye too, and a while ago I saw a reference to a woman who does
research on children with amblyopia.  She uses video games that require
children to learn to use both eyes to play.  I wrote her a letter and asked if
I would be able to learn to use both eyes by playing the games.  She sent back
a very friendly letter (I was a program director at the National Science
Foundation at the time which may have increased the level of helpfulness).  She
said that I was probably too old to learn to use both eyes.  She sent a paper
called Video Games and Amblyopia Treatment. (It doesn't say where it was
published.)  I could send you a copy of the article (if you send me you US mail
address) or you could write to her directly at:

Hope that's helpful,
