Fixing My Gaze: A Scientist's Journey Into Seeing in Three Dimensions Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I loved this book! My daughter went through vision therapy at age 3.5 for convergence insufficiency, problems with her vestibular-ocular reflex and midline issues. While this book focuses on a different vision problem, the explanation of the visual system and the techniques used in vision therapy were both fascinating and educational. While vision therapy was life-changing for my daughter, I didn't really understand the mechanics of her issues or of the therapy that resolved them. I do now. Two thumbs up! "

" First-person account of discovering the 3-d world late in life. Somewhat elementary but very interesting. "

" I read a book once about the codes on blankets used in the underground railroad. That book was really interesting but very redundant. This book was the same way. So fascinating, but the author repeats and restates for 50 extra pages such that I skimmed most of the last half of the book. "

" I read this book at the recommendation of a doctor so that I could understand what my 9 year old sees and what he will be going through when he starts vision therapy next week. I recommend that teachers read this book so that when they have a student with vision issues they might have some understanding. "

" This book makes me long to have my own gaze fixed. But as Susan Barry explains, most doctors don't know about, or don't believe, the very encouraging reports of visual therapists. I find Barry very credible as a rigorous scientist who gained three-dimensional sight in middle age. "

" How often do you think about what you see in 3D? Interesting, but a bit meandering. "

" The subject of this book is interesting: how much it's the brain that makes sense of what our eyes see and things that go wrong along the way. Unfortunately, it's not terribly well written. "

" This is what I'm working on! Can only hope for stereo vision myself, but great to read the details of vision therapy and hope more insurance covers it in the future. "

" Lots of scientific information, but still easy to read and understand. As someone without stereovision, I found this book very interesting. I now wonder if vision therapy could enable me to someday see in three dimensions. "

" Really interesting. Especially for a Strabismic like myself. "

" Having has strabismus as a child, this book was really relevant to me. Not sure if it would be to others, though, unless you're really into vision and neurology. Or Oliver Sacks-type books. "

" Found it most interesting though I have to say some of the neuroscience talk was beyond me but I got the gist of it. "

" Helped me to be able to start to grasp my son's strabismus condition. Very insightful and are using it as a guide to ask questions to our doctors. There is not much out there that ties the research all together like this book. "

" It was a little scattered, but very interesting subject matter. "
