So, I never post on here - but this made me very curious about whether anyone else here reads with one eye?
I'm 26 and have been reading with one eye closed for a long time. It seems like that would mean presbyopia wouldn't affect me, so perhaps doing exercises to read with one eye would also be a viable approach to overcoming the condition without using reading glasses.
- hazeii 9y agoI do something similar, when reading stuff around 15 feet (typically text on TV screens). In my case, it's because I have one long-sighted eye and one short-sighted (so I use one for close-up stuff like reading and the other for far stuff like driving, while effectively ignoring input from the other). In the cross-over zone, it's easier to close one eye than to let them compete for dominance.
- walterbell 9y agoAre your eyes naturally like that, or are you wearing monovision contacts, https://www.eyehealthweb.com/monovision/ https://www.eyehealthweb.com/monovision/?
- hazeii 9y agoNaturally, always been like it. I got some glasses back in my 20's to correct it, but the effect was to put everything into the zone where each eye would struggle for dominance (maybe I should have persisted, to see if my neural circuitry would eventually adapt and give me binocular vision). Interesting link to monovision, thanks! That's pretty much describes where I am - entirely by chance.
