to tell you the truth, i can't read sheet music all that well these days. i took classical piano lessons while young for 6yrs to build foundation for my playing...and i was fine until my astigmatism worsened. the sheet music staff (lines) makes my eyes jittery and after a few hours staring at sheet music i have to close my eyes and put pressure on it...so fatiguing. even today i can't stare at sheet music for too long.
so, i stopped playing classical piano, played in an amature band in highschool learning to play everything by ear, and since then, i just improvise/compose music as a hobby to sooth my mind.  |
Mr.kenchan, that sounds like signs of presbyopia, usually starting to happne from early 40's.
What happen is whenever we are looking at an object within an arm-length distance, the crystalline-lens inside the eyeball have to be compressed by the muscles whose holding it in order to put everything in focus.
However, the muscle that compress the crystalline-lens will become weaker by age (I hate saying this too) thus it cannot compress the lens as much as it needs to, thus the eyes cannot focus the near object.
When you visit the optometrist next time, tell him you need something for computer and reading, he should know what you're looking for.
