I forgot my prism computer glasses this morning so I decided to try the scotch tape idea. This actually does work great. I'm unable to wear an eye patch as my good eye goes all wonky and refuses to focus, but I'm ok with the scotch tape. Unfortunately one of my coworkers told me it looks kinda funny, but double vision vs. looking funny...

To Seagirl...I don't have any advice because I'm struggling with similar issues, but good luck.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I might just have to look into audio books and such. I have seen my neuro-opthamologist who told me to see a cognitive therapist. So I guess I just need to find other ways of reading as the Mestinon is not helping as much as I would have hoped nor is cognitive therapy.

If you're interested in audio books, look into Learning Ally (http://www.learningally.org/). They used to be known as Reading Federation for the Blind and Dyslexic. They have quite a few textbooks, plus other books, recorded. The program used to be casset based, but I think they distribute computer files now.

I found it less useful in college due to the rapidly changing text book editions, and let my membership lapse, but if they have the books you need its worth it.

My major problem is my eyes., it is like I have snowflakes falling constantly in front of them., I get the pain in the eyes also., mestinon did not help the eye problem at all.
