The muscles that control my eye movement were affected pretty early for me. I have good visual acuity and can read well when I don't have to move my eyeballs much. As a result, I have not spent much time reading books over the last several years.
I do OK reading a computer screen, because I can adjust things so that I don't have to move my eyes much. By having a relatively narrow column of text and scrolling the text as I read, I can keep my eye movement within a range that works.
I decided to try reading a few paperback books over the last month. They are pretty light, so I can hold them OK. But, I have found that is too taxing on my eye muscles.
I don't think I can hold a larger tablet or Kindle device in a position that would be comfortable for reading.
Does anyone suggestions besides spending time in front of my computer?
Thanks for your suggestions!
