jen Very interesting update, thanks for sharing! I am guessing Dr. Israeloff used a Maddox Rod to perform the BVD tests. I'm "sorry" you don't have BVD as that could have been improved with glasses.
jen specialized colored lenses
Were these Avulex lenses?
jen There are other locations in their network too.
Here is how to find Dr. Debby's network. And here is a link to find other eye doctors who did training in binocular vision.
ryans I am guessing Dr. Israeloff used a Maddox Rod to perform the BVD tests.
Yes, she used a Maddox Rod to assess BVD. There were other tests too that typical optometrists don’t do, but I can’t say exactly what roles the other tests played.
ryans Were these Avulex lenses?
I’m sorry, I don’t remember what they were called, but Avulex doesn’t sound familiar. She said it wasn’t just a lens with a tint, but had color and some kind of specialized structure embedded in the lens. She tried it on the remote chance it would help, but wasn’t surprised that it didn’t since it couldn’t block flicker. Prior to this visit I’d already tried about 20 different tinted lenses that didn’t help, including FL-41 and multiple other blue-blocking lenses, including very thick orange lab glasses that completely blocked light in the blue range. My very dark shade 5 welding glasses give me a few more seconds of time to walk across an LED-illuminated room before symptoms start, as long as the flicker isn’t really severe. They also slightly reduce the impact of flickering city lights and headlights if I’m walking at night. Typically I feel best if I don’t use any tint in order to best let in sunlight or completely flicker-free LED ambient light. Instead of wearing dark lenses to look at screens (my screens are worse with backlight dimmed), I’ve recently been trying putting darkening plastic over my screens - Dim It sheets on the iPhone and neutral density photographic gels over the monitor (a poor solution because glare on the gels is annoyingly distracting, but the glare is not triggering for me). And patching an eye while using the screen helps somewhat for me with flicker symptoms.
Hello @mike
When you started your exercise, do you had any strain or headache while you are looking at the phone with 1 eyes? or you strarted to feel good?
Another question - do you try your methods with laptop or only phone?
I'm happy to report my patching has continued to work, and has improved my overall ability to withstand Windows 10 dramatically. It;s been around 2 years now and I intend to keep it up.
Do you patch both eyes alternatively or only one ? If one, is it the stronger or weaker ?
Do you always use the pc while patching or can you use it without ?
bkdo It's been over a year, did you do vision therapy? I read that you started to wear prisms in that time and they improved symptoms for you. However I think that for CI vision therapy is the first thing that one should be doing, and only if that fails, then consider prisms. Or prisms + vt simultaneously. Because in CI they don't cure the cause, just relieve the symptoms? It's different with divergence insufficiency I think.
@mike I'm also having symptom relief when using patching. I've tried patching once already, about month ago, but I wasn't noticing any change. I gave it one more chance yesterday and I noticed that with one eye patched (no matter which eye) I can look at the screen with 40% brightness on my laptop, whereas before it had to be almost 0% (had to use additional screen dimmer to go below default minimum). It doesn't affect my other symptom, which is "eyes being out of sync/misaligned" feeling, but it does lower the pain when looking at screen. Pretty good news and interseting finding I would say.
UPDATE: after 3 days of patching, new kind of pain is occuring in eye that is looking at the screen, so this is not a solution for me, I'm stopping it for now, maybe will come back to it later…
Hey, I did do vision therapy for about 3-4 months. I did it myself at home for about an hour a day. I unfortunately didn't see any noticeable improvements, so I stopped, since the time investment was getting to be a bit much. My prism lenses have also stopped providing enough relief, so I'm stuck with my old prescription.
I did see a Dr. Debby trained specialist and am getting new prescription glasses within 1-2 weeks. Literally putting all my hopes on them at this point.
bkdo Hey, I did do vision therapy for about 3-4 months. I did it myself at home for about an hour a day.
Did you do this with an optometrist or just self-guided? I think with our condition, the VT needs to be under a specialist to be successful.
bkdo My prism lenses have also stopped providing enough relief,
This could be "eating" the prism. Over time, sometimes the eyes/brain need stronger and stronger prism.
I used my Kaiser optometrist/opthalmologist's exercises and did them at home, they took about an hour a day and I didn't really see any relief, unfortunately.
Yeah, from what I was told, relief with brand new prism lenses usually last about a month, then you'll need recalibration. Then, your prescription can change year-to-year. It's frustrating 
arturpanteleev Sorry for late answer, been working long days (behind my screens).
When I started training I didn’t understand that this training was going to work. Less headache, but my eyes was still strained, after some weeks I could see results that the training worked.
mike thank you! I tried to do patching a few times, but every time quit halfway through. Gonna do another trying
Eye patching changed my life. I was so happy, that I can use devices that I cannot from a long time again. But unfortunately something went wrong. I was patching one of my eyes from about a year and recently I think I overloaded my eyes/eye (or maybe my body), got a lot of stress, and lose the ability to use devices to which I got my eyes used by patching. Now I can say, that I’m starting over, somehow I reset my eyes to the stage that I cannot use almost anything at all. The worst part of the problem is that, now the patching wont work at all. I irritate my eyes very quickly, No matter if I’m patching or not. Have any of you had such a problem? Did anyone have to start from scratch? If so, do you have any advice? I'm a little heartbroken because I was able to use all these devices fairly normally and enjoy life in my own way, and now I've lost that opportunity, not knowing why 
AGI I Was at the point where I can, for example, play on my PS5 for one hour without patching at all, after one hour patch one eye for half of an hour, and then play another ~hour without patching, etc. It was like cure for me, cause before I cannot use almost any devices at all. Unfortunately, despite trying and patching, I wasn't able to last longer without patching than 1/1,5 hour in front of a screen. Although, sometimes when i'm drinking alcohol, I was able to last much longer without patching, even 2-3 hours
