Trouble missing letters when reading!
For the past 2-3 years I've been having difficulty reading all the letters of words whether it was using my distance or close vision.After having the cataract in my left eye removed last year I pushed my eye Dr. more for a diagnosis of the problem. At that time I was told there was nothing wrong with my eye and that it was probably neurological. There was no further action recommended (hmmm, bad dr??) And I let it go.
Last summer I noticed it more when I obtained the use of a 2nd computer monitor for work and had difficulty determining screen resolution, font size and what works best for my computer viewing. I ended up just using the browser's functionality (CTRL plus the + sign to increase font size of the pages).
So I brought up the subject again during this year's annual eye exam. I was administered a field vision test. The recommendation was that they weren't seeing the problem I described as a field of vision issue (meaning it being an extensive blind spot issue, especially since everyone has a blind spot) and now they are willing to make a referral to a neuro opthomologist.
So, I've drawn on my strength of inquiring skills and found an informative website --http://visionaaware.org.
It provided some short tip PDFs of questions to ask Dr., product suggestions, strategies for coping, etc.
Right now life is a bit hectic preparing for my retirement. Additionally, I don't anticipate needing to use the computer as much in retirement as I do now so perhaps I may see a vision change. And when in doubt, do nothing except keep that information on the back-burner! So that's what I'm going to do for now.
