Like the author of TFA, I was born with amblyopia, and have a mild strabismus. Unlike in TFA, however, the eye muscle surgery as an infant didn't correct the problem, and my "bad" eye didn't recover or integrate. Instead, I have a massively dominant eye, which has relatively correctable detail vision, and another eye that can do a fair job of tracking contrast and motion, but is utterly useless for detail; even the big "E" on the eye chart is a blur, corrective lenses or not. Interestingly, the retina of dominant eye has so over-compensated for the imbalance that, the last time I had the blind-spot detection test run, the technician had to repeat the test five times before giving up, saying she just couldn't find my blind spot in that eye. I'm sure I have one, as physiologically, it's not possible not to have one, but it seems to be undetectably small. I, too, am very interested in the Oculus Rift for trying to address this. I've loosely followed the ongoing research involving using stereo Tetris (the falling pieces are presented to one eye, and the settled pieces to the other) to train the eyes and visual cortex to work together better. It's demonstrated a reasonable level of success, so far.
