When reading difficult material slowly in order to understand it fully, how can I avoid my eyes going 'cross eyed' after prolonged periods of reading?
I sometimes catch myself sitting there reading with one eye shut so I can clearly read the material. Then I straighten up my eyes and refocus and everything is fine. After a few minutes, I'm right back to squinching my eyes.
I don't think I need glasses, because I can read everything clearly, it's just that they tend to run together for some reason. This only happens when I'm concentrating really hard on what I'm reading.
This is very annoying and hinders my study. Anyone have any suggestions?

i had a similar problem, you don't need glasses, i checked with the doctor and he said it was eye fatigue and a lack of esential vit for healthy eyes. He recommended ICAPS its over the counter try it it's very good.

1. Have your eyes checked anyway. You may not need glasses for any other activity than reading. Reading is the most important part of any education - it's a foundation.
2. Always work in a cool and quiet or silent place. Noises and activities can distract your attention, which will make you move your eyes and loose your place on the page.
3. Make notes in a note book as you read, stopping at a point in the text, move your eyes to the notebook page, make a note, and go back to the text. Use your non-dominant hand to keep your position in the text as you write your notes.

I would say get your eyes check. My cousin could see fine and was on the honor roll in high school and didn't think she needed glasses, but it was time for school to start her mom took her to the eye doctor and come to find out she did need glasses. She has contacts, but no she is making even better grades. I suggest too that you take little breaks from studying, when you find yourself doing it. It doesn't have to be long, just get up walk to the kitchen or another room, come back and sit down. If you can time yourself and discover that after 15 minutes you are doing it. Talk to your classmates, they may have suggestions too.

This happens to most of us, so your not alone on this. I find myself procrastinating on long "dry" material. What helps is if you read it in section at a time or skim the article getting the main point and then just go back and re-view the section
Highlighting also helps

take regular breaks when studying. Such as every 30 minutes get up , watch some t.v, eat a snack etc.

just relax and enjoy the reading. when you are pressured and stressed, the more you feel the tension through all the physiological pains. take time and properly manage it! good luck!

its' because you are sleepy and yoou want to go to sleep and you aren't interested in the material so if that is the case i suggest studing earlier when oyou are more awake
