In fact, I do the same thing (read with one eye) when I'm reading in an unusual position or at an odd angle - like laying my head down and reading a propped-up book.
So no, I don't think you're weird, or even abnormal (vergence issues are relatively common). But it might be worth it to mention it during your next eye exam - if for no better reason than to get a more informed answer.  |
Hi.. thanks for the info.. I'm planning on going back to my Optometrist next week to explain the situation to him.. it's not a big deal as I still read many hours a day, but.. it seems to happen more frequently in the last couple of months.. I just started to notice it more lately.. I will keep you posted.. by the way.. you should go back to college and get a Optometrist degree.. LOL
Thanks much..
P.S. when I am on my MacBook or a Larger size computer screen.. it never happens, just on eReaders or Tablets.. go figure..
