I take them several times a day.
I recommend seeing if you can find a Vision Therapist. Vision Therapy is not typically offered by standard optometrists and opthamologists; moreover, vision therapists will do much more sophisticated tests to diagnose visual tracking, visual processing, convergence and divergence, etc.

Thanks Xanadu, found the answer to something that has puzzled me for a while and just saw a possible explanation. My doctor asked me why I lean forward when I stand up. I denied I was doing it until he stood me next to a mirror and yes I lean forward like I am battling against the wind. I had no explanation at the time why I was doing it and since it didn't bother me, sort of set it aside.
When I went to the links, I came across "Visual Midline shift syndrome" which could be the cause of the lean and also the balance and word blurring problems. Without prompting, I gave my wife the article to read and immediately she said - "thats you"
Thanks again
