...I had an experiance at work a few years ago that may be related. My job requires a lot of computer work. I was a little dizy and having a hard time staying focused on the screen. That afternoon, it finally got to the point to where not only could I not stay focused, I couldn't get anything to get focused.
... I looked away to a white board on the wall and everything written on the board was double. Very weird feeling and no matter what I did, I couldn't get the images to come togetherm unless of course I closed one eye. I did a little searching on the internet on eye strain and computers, those type of key words and found a lot of info on computer glasses.
...Long story short, my company pays for computer glasses and problm solved but that's not the point of my reply.
...What caused all the problems was eye strain and i can se very easily that before I got my dizziness under control, this would have played havoc with me. More than it did. I wouldn't have been surprised if it might have caused a vertigo experiance.
...Now something you may not know!!! You may have perfect eyesight and not need prescription glasses but what you don't know is what your eyes maybe doing to correct your vision. As I was told by mt optomitrist, is that when most people finally need glasses is because the eye muscles finnaly get tire of compensating for the vicion defect and relax thus causing blury vision. Then you have to get a prescription to do the focussing.
...I wear prescription glasses but another thing I didn't know is that all presciption glasses are designed for opptimum foal length of 8 to 10 feet. To focus on objects that are closer requires the eyes to do the work. Due to the prescription, this isn't near as hard as before but still strain none the less.
...So normally I had no roblem geting the screen to focus but when I got the computer glasses (designed for optimal focal point at 2 to 4 feet) I couldn't believe how relaxed I felt when using them. I now have a pair of trfocals that covers all three areas and sometimes I just raise my head up and down to see the difference. When I switch from the intermidiate lense to the far distance lens, I can still read the screen but I can feel the mulses contracting and relaxing when going from one to the other.
..Moral to this story is that although you may have perfect vision, you eyes maybe struggling to focus at the distance you are trying to read. A doctor can use his lazer machine to analyze your eyesight and possibly give you a prescription that would ease the eye strain and possibly help with your problem.
Every little bit helps.
