Hey, I’m Augustus, a 60-year-old retired man from México, and today I want to share a story that I never thought I’d live to tell. For most of my life, I resigned myself to the idea that my strabismus and lazy eye were just part of who I was—something I had to live with, something that would never change. But life has a funny way of surprising you, and now, in my golden years, I’m seeing the world in a way I never thought possible.

Growing up with strabismus and amblyopia wasn’t easy. I learned early on to adapt to a world that wasn’t designed for people like me. I avoided eye contact, struggled with depth perception, and always felt a little out of sync with the world around me. Over time, I stopped thinking about it. I built a life, worked hard, and eventually retired, thinking that my vision was just something I’d have to accept.

But a few years ago, something changed. Maybe it was the extra time I had in retirement, or maybe it was just a spark of hope I hadn’t felt in decades. I started researching treatments for strabismus and lazy eye, something I hadn’t done since I was a young man. I was amazed to discover how far vision therapy had come. I read about cutting-edge treatments like VividVision and Curesight, which used virtual reality to help people like me improve their vision. For the first time in years, I felt a glimmer of hope.

But that hope was quickly tempered by reality. I soon realized that these treatments weren’t available in México, and even if they were, the cost was astronomical—thousands of dollars per year. As much as I wanted to improve my vision, I couldn’t justify spending my life savings on something that might not even work. I felt defeated, like I’d come so close to a solution only to have it slip through my fingers.

Then, one day, I stumbled upon something that felt like a miracle: Equal-Eyes VR Vision Therapy. Developed by a man named Mark Boyce, who had overcome his own strabismus and lazy eye in his 50s, Equal-Eyes was everything I’d been searching for. It was affordable—just a one-time payment of $150 for lifetime access—and it could be done from the comfort of my own home. But what really resonated with me was Mark’s story. Here was a man with a similar age of mine who had achieved what I thought was impossible: he had cured his lazy eye as an adult. If he could do it, why couldn’t I?

I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. It’s been two years since I started using Equal-Eyes as my adult lazy eye treatment, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. My eye alignment has improved, my depth perception is better, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m truly seeing the world in 3D. But the biggest change has been in my confidence. I no longer feel like I’m hiding behind my condition. I feel like myself, fully and completely.

I know what you might be thinking: “Can someone really improve their vision at 60?” I’m living proof that the answer is yes. Equal-Eyes has given me a new lease on life, and I’m so grateful to Mark Boyce for creating something that has made such a profound difference for me.

This blog is my way of paying it forward. If you’re someone who’s been living with strabismus or lazy eye, especially if you’re older and think it’s too late to make a change, I hope my story inspires you to give Equal-Eyes a try. It’s never too late to see the world in a new light. If you're interested in this Vision Therapy you can visit the official Equal-Eyes website: https://avalonweb.com.au/demo/.

Remember, no matter your age, it's never too late to fix your lazy eye,
Augustus
