Hi all,
I am new here, and have been dealing with vision
issues for quite some time.
As a child(probably like many children), I was
not diagnosed at all for dyslexia or other reading problems.This made
my whole reading life miserable, as I never actually read very much
until I was around 12.Even then, I had to 'adapt' and do the best I
could.
It's a wonder I graduated high school, with all
my struggles.
I think, like most people with dyslexia issues,
we assume that either we are the only one with the issue, or everyone
else has similar issues, and doesn't talk about them.
For me, I just kept trudging on, mentioning my
discomfort occassionally.But my parents had other issues, so I never
went anywhere for help.
Back to square one again recently with problems
reading, I decided to look up dyslexia info, hoping I could identify
my problems. I found some, but still wasn't sure.
Finally,(I think with God's help) I arrived at a
website for dyslexia that mentioned something called scotopic
sensitivity. I pursued research, and was stunned as on and on,I found
my reading problems, totally defined!!! At last! It was me, in plain
english, and all my lifelong struggles with reading!
I then began to look up lens colorations, and
remembered I have a blue tinted pair. I ran to my drawer, and placed
them over my eyes. I am now using them while online today, and
already my eyes are relaxing, and the glare is DRAMATICALLY cut down.
I just wanted to say, I am so happy that God
showed me what I could do, to receive some help.
Now, onto a full diagnosis, as soon as I can, and
I am able to read like I never was before. :)

I'd love to hear anyone else's story about
scotopic issues being overcome!Please feel free to share, or e-mail
me: natamonworld@...
