> I was told reading was my problem too...except I was only nearsighted in one eye.
I got glasses before kindergarten, and I needed them for longer than that.
Later on, I did end up spending a lot of time in childhood reading, but I was myopic before I could read.
‘Explanations’ like ‘you read too much’ have always struck me as obvious nonsense in my case.
They confirmed it wasn't that I was reading only with my right eye, and it's obviously not like my eyes got different amounts of sunlight, given that they go everywhere together, so I've always been suspicious that that was a lazy answer.
