Spare Mac for Claude Code? Cool. But your eyes are the real legacy hardware.

Spare Mac for Claude Code? Cool. But your eyes are the real legacy hardware.

Saw the guide on ykdojo.github.io — clever repurposing. But it made me think: we'll containerize, virtualize, and optimize every layer of the stack except the one doing the reading.

If you've dealt with amblyopia/lazy eye, or just the particular exhaustion of 10hr+ screen days, there's a Quest app called Amblyotube that takes a different angle: dichoptic YouTube-style content (different image per eye) that trains coordination & attention while you watch. Built by Seven Sports, it leverages the Quest's dual eyepieces for true binocular training — both eyes active, not patched.

Not a magic bullet, but a legit mechanism (dichoptic stimulation + engagement) that's usually locked in clinic settings. The toolkit includes a Dominant Eye Shader with adjustable digital occlusion, a Lazy Eye Sharpener using AI figure detection for MFBF (monocular fixation in a binocular field), flicker stimulation on human figures, and a magenta fusion cue for the lazy eye. Visual Accents add highlight, outline, and breathing pulse modes to direct attention.

Sessions run 30–40 minutes, capped at one hour. Rated 13+. Positioned as educational/wellness, not a medical device — doesn't replace prescribed patching or professional care.

Curious if anyone here's tried VR vision therapy — clinic or consumer.
