Hi @afirefly Is this book relatively new with up to date information? I believe in neuroplasticity. It engages the brain to develop new pathways for tasks it once did. In other words, you teach your brain to do a task using a different pathway of nerves it used before. Pretty interesting concept. I must say it involves discipline, time, and patience. In some cases it took as long as a year to achieve change. I am using neuroplasticity to correct my diplopia caused by the nerves of my eye muscles. The movements of the eyes do not synchronize with each other thus resulting in 2 images, the diplopia. At 3 months I have seen positive changes but my eyes have not completely aligned yet. I also have neuropathy and balance issues. I have noticed yesterday after a month, the exercises for balance are becoming easier. I will advance to another exercise for balance improvement. Thanks, Toni

hi @avmcbellar. The copyright for the "Better Balance" book is 2017. Your diplopia could be contributing to your imbalance.

In case you did not already know, prisms can be fitted into eyeglasses to offset your diplopia. The prisms do not cure the diplopia but they do remove the second image whenever you wear the glasses.
