Molly,
I don't know about the eyes working together or not but I have certainly experienced this reading and not absorbing -- particularly with highly technical material. How does one check on this and what does one do about it. For me there is a huge fatigue and nodding off/zoning out effect that happens with this...
> Have you ever heard of convergence insufficiency? Basically it's when you eyes don't team up correctly. You could read a paragraph 3 or 4 times and still be unable to remember what you have read, becasuse your eyes have to concentrate on focusing you don't get normal comprehension out of what you read. Maybe some of the meds he's on are interfering with his eyes. Check it out. Good luck, Molly
