My mother had another type of medical related reading problem. She had patches (I think it was morphine) she used at will to manage her pain. A few months into this she complained to her pain doctor that she hated having to choose between manageable pain and being able to read and he told her that was because morphine narrowed the visual field, which nobody had mentioned before while explaining its other secondary effects.
