Hi,

I'm a 16 year old currently enrolled in High school. I'm having troubles with Photofocus...

Problems are...

1) I wear glasses
2) my eyes drift (but after photoreading books, it becomes less)

when I wear my glasses and I see the "phantom page" the page is TOTALLY out of focus, and I don't get the "clearity" of the page. But the "blip page" is there.

when I take off my glasses, I can still see the page, and when I see the "blip page" there is a clearity to the page. Things aren't focused, but there isn't that blurred effect when I had my glasses on.

Can anyone help me with this?
Or share your Photofocus experience, thanks.

Go with what you feel more comfortable with... If you feel it's easier for your mind to absorb without the glass, then go for it.

The blip page and clarity of the words isn't the issue. It's allowing the information to go into your inner mind for processing. So both ways will work fine. It's amazing what your mind is able to sort out from what is 'sees' if you get out of the way and let it handle it.

I find that not only is PhotoFocus easier without my glasses on, in time the act of looking at a book without glasses is a conditioned response to enter PhotoFocus.

If you're like me, you had to use an eyepatch as a child. (My left eye is still a little lazy, but almost inperceptibly so. It creates a "weird" appearance to my eyes, especially as I've got flecks of red in the irises). Do you remember how difficult it was to read words with your non-dominant eye? The only way to do it, for me at least, was to absorb the "shape" of the word and sort it out based on the "shapes" of other words. Essentially, I was PhotoReading in the second grade, I just didn't know it!

I firmly believe that in most casses, glasses give PhotoReaders an "edge" or at least a shortcut when it comes to PhotoFocus.

Hopes this helps you. Do well in class.
