Participants are diagnosed as having dyslexia by use of the described evaluation form. Each is taught the stereoscopic eye exercise and instructed in the use and need for this reading method's new focal point. It immediately produces reading fluency, words stop jumping, joining together or twisting and words become clearer, darker and sharper. Some mention that the words stereoscopically lift off of the page.

Both adults and young children develop an even fluency while reading aloud. However, most acknowledge that it is much easier to read when they "make-it-clear" as opposed to when they are "out-of-it." Three penny fusion generally occurs near 4 to 6 inches (10-15 cm) and reading improvement at about 1/4 to 1 inch (1/2 to 2.5 cm). Several consecutive lines are read, while making each line clear with the index finger.

Table 1 shows ten dyslexic's vergence arc word changes over five, thirty degree, arc positions. These appear to represent epipolar line search findings. Reading position A represents an approximate position for downward vergence reading near desktop level. Also, dyslexics frequently mention a confounding desktop level paper glare. Position A still has the familiar desktop reading problems of dyslexics as jumping, moving, not clear words. Movement upward, at a convergence normal reading distance, to point B, about 60 degrees, begins to demonstrate epipolar search alignment. Here words begin to become clear, may separate when joined and represent a corrective change from position A. Horizontal position C is frequently the clearest and it is usually without word movement or disarray. Above the horizontal, position D, words may be clear or clearest but frequently those peculiarities of dyslexia re-appear. Position E, about 150 degrees, may demonstrate earlier findings of dyslexia as blurring, joined words etc.

Again, individual variation is noted. The findings are believed those of dyslexic reading correction through epipolar line correspondence. This is accomplished by changes in eye vergence cyclorotation from downward to upward gaze, positions A through E in Figure 1.

Table 2 represents findings from 10 non-dyslexics over the five, thirty degrees, vergence arc positions. Most saw clear, non-moving words through out each position. Smaller words with decreased clarity are often noted at upward vergence angles in non-dyslexics.

Individual variations would be expected in non-dyslexics. Mainly, non-dyslexics experience smaller words and occasional fuzzy word changes over the upward vergence angles from the horizontal and above. However, dyslexic type word changes are not noted to occur.

During evaluation, dyslexics occasionally state that they normally read at either the 30, 60 or horizontal, position. They independently discovered that one of these vergence reading arc levels is clearest and without confounding word motion.
