Poohbear Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I've had vision trouble in the past with POTS (lots of floaters and dots in my field of vision); some days are worse than others.The past few days I have noticed that sometimes when I try to read the sentences on the page will appear slanted. At first I actually thought it was the book I was trying to read and that somehow it had printed lopsided but then I realized the book is fine it's my eyes/brain messing up.This is new for me so I will definately be talking to all of my Dr's about it but meanwhile, has anyone else experienced this?

corina Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 hi poohi'm having vision trouble as well. sometimes i can't read at all (which makes people say i need reading glasses) but other times i can read everything (and understand ). it depends on wether i'm having a "sharp" day. on a sharp day i can read, my memory is some better and my walking in the house is some better. it's just a pity that i don't have much sharp days corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have problems finding the next line and the lines slanting. It makes me feel very sick. And most of the time anymore I can't follow any story lines, no concentration for it. Bummer, because I love to read. morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks Morgan, Corian & Dizzygirl! I do notice my concentration lately has been a lot worse than it used to be. Even when I'm reading something enjoyable and something I really want to be reading my mind doesn't stay focused and I find myself having to read and re-read things often.One more piece of the whole puzzle that doesn't seem to be getting any closer to the overall picture!!

AJVDK Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Poohbear,Sorry to hear about the vision changes, I have alot of problems with the black floating things in my eyes, about two months ago I started getting blurred vision very bad also. I find I can read about 15- 20 mins at a time before the word tend to run into each other. Some day I can't even read word on the TV. But on my good days, alot everything is fine. I am not sure why ot comes in goes. I asked the octors before and they never seem very worried about it. I am not sure if this is just becaues it a pots thing or they just don't know.Hope it geats better for you, and they doctor find out why its happening.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
