Bonjour! I’m Loren, a 20-something French woman living a life that many might describe as a dream. I work remotely as a virtual assistant for companies in the USA, which allows me to travel the world with my wonderful boyfriend. On the surface, my life seems perfect—full of adventure, love, and independence. But for as long as I can remember, there’s been one thing that’s held me back, something I’ve carried with me like a shadow: my strabismus.
Strabismus, or “crossed eyes,” has been a part of my life since I was a child. Growing up, I was told that it was too late to treat it, that my “lazy eye” (amblyopia) was something I’d just have to live with. As a result, I learned to navigate the world with a visual impairment that affected not only how I saw but also how I felt about myself. The constant self-consciousness, the awkwardness in social situations, and the fear of being judged—it all weighed heavily on me. Even as I built a career and found love, there was always this nagging feeling that I wasn’t fully seen, both literally and figuratively.
But a year ago, everything changed. While scrolling through the internet (as one does), and looking for new solution to my visual condition and I stumbled upon a website called https://avalonweb.com.au/demo/. They claimed to offer an innovative treatment for adult lazy eye, something I didn’t even know was possible. Skeptical but hopeful, I decided to give it a try. What did I have to lose?
The treatment, called Equal-Eyes VR Vision Therapy, was unlike anything I’d ever encountered. It was designed specifically for adults like me, offering a way to improve vision and reduce the visibility of strabismus—all from the comfort of my own home. For someone like me, a nomad constantly on the move, this was a game-changer. No more searching for vision therapy centers in every new city, no more juggling appointments with my busy schedule. I could finally take control of my vision on my own terms.
The results have been nothing short of life-changing. After less than a year of consistent therapy, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my vision acuity and binocular vision. My strabismus is becoming less noticeable, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m truly seeing the world—and myself—in a new light. The confidence boost has been incredible. I no longer feel the need to hide or apologize for how I look. I’m finally starting to believe that my strabismus doesn’t define me.
This journey has been about more than just improving my vision. It’s been about reclaiming my sense of self and embracing the life I’ve always wanted. I’m not there yet, but I’m closer than I’ve ever been.
So, welcome to my blog. This is a space where I’ll share my experiences, my triumphs, and my challenges as I navigate this new chapter of my life. If you’re someone who’s ever felt held back by something beyond your control, I hope my story inspires you to keep going. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that it’s never too late to fight for the life you deserve.
Loren
