Anyway, soften your gaze on those dots and when the two dots become three dots due to the divergence of your eyes, you're in the PhotoFocus state. As for me I don't have much problem getting there but perhaps this will help someone who does.


The dots should be 0.5 to 1.5 inches apart or 13 to 30mm. It will probably depend on the distance you are away from your monitor. If you have the photoreading manual that comes with the home study course you will have a guide to the approximate distance apart. The are occasionally printed at the top edge of a random dot stereo as a guide.

If you place a couple of similar dots near the top edge, vertical center of your monitor you have an alternate guide.
