I agree with Jodi. I have no problem seeing stereograms or the blip page of the manual but I have difficulty seeing the blip page in a normal-size book. So, I don't bother with it. I just do the imaginary-X technique and soften my gaze as I photoread. Softening your gaze is something you can practice wherever you are, like walking down the street and seeing what you can spy out in peripheral vision.
